The term 'bodiless' is primarily used in philosophical, religious, and literary contexts in both American English and Portuguese-speaking cultures. In Brazilian spiritualism and religious discourse, 'desencarnado' (bodiless/disembodied) is commonly used to refer to spirits of the deceased. In European Portuguese, the term remains more philosophical and less tied to spiritual practices.
