bodies
Corpses or organizations
Bodies is the plural of body—physical forms of humans, animals, or objects.
The word often implies corpses: They found three bodies in the wreckage.
Bodies can be collective groups: governing bodies, bodies of water, bodies of work.
In casual speech, body positivity movements have made bodies a term for celebrating physical diversity: All bodies are beautiful.
