CORPORATE comes from Latin "corporatus," past participle of "corporare" meaning "to form into a body," from "corpus" (body). It entered English in the 15th century meaning "united in one body." The business sense emerged in the 1760s with the rise of chartered corporations. The modern usage expanded greatly in the 20th century with phrases like "corporate culture" (1960s) and "corporate identity" (1970s).
