embody
의미: To give a tangible or visible form to an abstract idea, quality, or principle; to be the living representation of something.
Embody suggests that an abstract concept has been made concrete through a person, object, or institution. It is slightly less formal than 'epitomise' and more widely used in everyday journalism and cultural commentary. It collocates with values, principles, spirit, ideals, and aspirations. The related noun 'embodiment' is equally common.
