Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CORPS (pronounced as in French, from which it is taken, being a late spelling of tors, from Lat. corpus, a body; cf. " corpse ") , a word in very
general
  use since the 17th
century
  to denote a
body
  of troops, varying from a few hundred to the greater
part
  of an army. In a
special
  sense " corps " is used as synonymous with " army corps " (corps d'armee). The word is applied to any organized
body
 , as in corps diplomatique, the
general
  body of
foreign
  diplomatic agents accredited to any government (see DIPLOMACY), or corps de
ballet
 , the members of a
troop
  of dancers at a theatre; so in esprit de corps, the common spirit of loyalty which animates any body of associated persons.
