incorporati

incorporati is the plural form of the Italian adjective incorporato and also appears in Latin texts as the past participle incorporatus. In Italian usage, incorporato describes something that has been formed into a body or integrated into a group. As a noun, incorporati can mean "the incorporated ones" and is commonly seen in formal or historical writing to refer to individuals who have been incorporated into an organization, institution, or legal entity.

Origin and etymology: incorporato derives from Latin incorporatus, from incorporare, meaning to form into a body. The prefix in- plus corpus (“body”) underlies the sense of being made part of a larger whole.

Usage and context: In modern Italian, the term is more often encountered in legal, administrative, or historical texts rather than in everyday language. Phrases such as membri incorporati or soggetti incorporati describe people who have been absorbed into a group or entity. In English, the form incorporati is rarely used outside of translations from Italian or discussions of historical documents; the corresponding English term is typically "incorporated" and the common company suffix is Inc. rather than a direct loanword "incorporati."

Related concepts: incorporation (in law and business), corporate personhood, and the process of forming a corporate entity. While "incorporated" denotes legal status in English, incorporati reflects Italian and Latin linguistic forms tied to the idea of being integrated into a body or organization.

Notes: The term is primarily of linguistic and historical interest and is not a standard designation in contemporary English-language corporate terminology.
