incorporeality
Lacking physical form
Incorporeality is the state of having no physical body or material form.
The word appears in philosophical and theological discussions about the nature of souls, spirits, and abstract entities: The incorporeality of angels was debated by medieval scholars.
It contrasts with corporeality—having a body.
