incorporeal
adjective
Definition: 1. existing with no physical body or form; 2. in law, an entity that does not exist on its own, but exists as an attachment to another object, like a copyright
Synonyms: nonexistent, intangible, celestial, metaphysical, bodiless, supernatural, spiritual
Antonyms: embodied, physical, substantial
Tips: Think, corpse, as it means "body," and real. Then add the negative in-, "not," and it's easy to remember that incorporeal is used to describe something that is not real or of the body--it's not a "real body."
