Question

corpse n.尸体 (1) 承办殡葬者准备埋葬尸体。(2) 尸体俯卧在血泊中。 The words corpse and "corps" are often confused, and with good reason — both came from the Latin word corpus, meaning "body," and up until the 19th Century, both referred to a dead person. Around that time, the word with the "e" at the end was established as the word for a person's remains, while the other spelling was relegated to a "body" of people working together or in a military division, and very much alive!
