Coined by Finnish linguist Hannes Teppo in 1945 in cooperation with Lääketieteen sanastolautakunta (Medical Terminology Board), as a word specifically for an alive body, as the term ruumis could (and still can) refer to an alive or a dead human body. Syntactically kehä + -o, and inspired by Estonian keha.
