In-carn-ation

Note that the word "Incarnation" contains "carn" (the root of carnal, carnivore...etc) which comes from "carnis" in Latin, which means "of the flesh."

Now, notice how the word "car" is in all of this. Our body/flesh is our car/vehicle in this reality.

To go even deeper, the Proto-Indo-European root of all of the "carn" words is "sker", which means "to cut."

In-car-nation: We come from a common homeland (Source), yet are separated (cut) into these cars (flesh vehicles).
