Imagine a group of people who all do a very specific job together. This group is called a corps.
For example, a group of people who are all doctors in the military might be called the Medical Corps. They work together for a common goal.
It can also be a large part of an army, like a big team of soldiers working under one leader.
So, a corps is basically a special team of people, often in the military or a professional field, who are all working towards the same goal.
§ Understanding the Noun "Corps"
