When and where did I find this word: I found this word as I was reading Chapter 10 in the Content-Area Writing Book written by Harvey Daniels, Steven Zemelman, and Nancy Steineke. I have been trying to catch up on school work today (November 19th, 2011) so this post should have already been published. The portion of the chapter that uses this term describes a mathematical writing prompt involving a graph and when I read the term it interested me since I have heard it many times in my life.
What this word means: The term in the book uses the general definition of the term which in my own words would be to encompass, or include. According to www.dictionary.com, the term embodied means to embrace or comprise; or even to collect into. I supppose my 'gist' of the word is somewhat accurate. Level of familiarity: I usually hear this term in the context of spirituality and paranormal situations. Occasionally I hear this term used in the education field when talking about the student body and what they are to be learning. I am familiar with this word but I do not find myself using the word that often. I am not sure why. Maybe I should try it.
Is this a word I want to know well? I think this is a neat word to know. I think that it has been a beneficial term to know for me since a lot of my interests have used the term and I have needed to understand it in many contexts. I think it's a word that definitely gets used quite a bit.
Is this a word I want others to know well?: I believe that this is a word others should at least know the general meaning of because it is so commonly used within a variety of contexts.
