Explanation
Embodiment means a clear example of an idea, quality, or feeling shown in a real person or thing. For example, someone kind and caring can be called the embodiment of kindness. The word includes “body”, which means physical form. This shows the idea of something abstract, like a feeling or idea, taking a real and visible form that people can see or experience. So it describes when something abstract becomes visible and real through someone or something.
