1. body

   Body denotes the entire physical structure, considered as a whole, of man or animal; form looks upon it as a thing of shape and outline, perhaps of beauty; frame regards it as supported by its bony framework; system views it as an assemblage of many related and harmonious organs. Body, form, frame, and system may be either dead or living; clay and dust are sometimes so used in religious or poetic style, tho ordinarily these words are used only of the dead. Corpse and remains are used only of the dead. Corpse is the plain technical word for a dead body still retaining its unity; remains may be used after any lapse of time; the latter is also the more refined and less ghastly term; as, friends are invited to view the remains. Carcass applies only to the body of an animal, or of a human being regarded with contempt and loathing. Compare COMPANY.

   Synonyms:
   ashes, carcass, clay, corpse, dust, form, frame, remains, system, trunk

   Antonyms:
   intellect, intelligence, mind, soul, spirit

How to use body in a sentence?

1. Nicole Daniel:

   Many times the students may come in because they're embarrassed, they don't look the same, somebody's complaining about a body odor. I would say,' OK, baby, then we're going to have to do it the old way.' We have soap, we have water. But now with this laundry room we don't have to do that.

2. Alice Wetterlund:

   I want an abortion because my body is doing a thing right now, that is not incubating a person, and I would like it to continue doing that thing, it’s my choice. Okay?

3. Mike Lucas:

So he certainly had the capability the potential to harm people, and then obviously what's happened in Texas and Dayton and all that kind of stuff in the last seven days -- that's on everybody's mind.

4. Phil Ryan:

   The officer is lucky he wasn't hit because I'm pretty sure his body armor would have been penetrated by that rifle round, he could go above the body armor, below the body armor, (or)... in the head.

5. Jennifer Solomon:
