Question

cadaver The cadaver she was given to work on, from the Manhattan morgue, was that of an unclaimed homeless woman. kəˈdævər

Accepted Answer

A dead body, especially one that is to be dissected; a corpse. Since a corpse is a body that has “fallen down dead,” the root cad- seems at home here. For most of us, cadaver has an impersonal sound, and indeed the word is often used for a body whose identity isn't important: most medical students probably don't spend much time wondering who they're dissecting. Someone with cadaverous features looks like a corpse before he or she is dead
