Etymology
جَسَدِيّ is the nisba, or relational, adjective built from جَسَد (jasad, "body, corpse"), using the suffix ـِيّ that Arabic attaches to nouns to mean "of or relating to." The root ج-س-د centers on the idea of a solid, tangible body, and is kept distinct from روح (spirit) and نفس (soul or self). The adjective spread through medicine, law, and religious writing as the standard term for anything bodily, set against the mental or spiritual.
