impanate (adj.)
"present in the (consecrated) bread," 1540s, from Church Latin impanatus, past participle of impanare "to embody in bread," from assmiliated form of in- "in, into" (from PIE root *en "in") + panis "bread" (from PIE root *pa- "to feed").
Related: Impanation (1540s), from Medieval Latin impanationem. The Adessenarians (1751, from Latin adesse "be present," from ad- "to" + esse "be") believed in the real presence of Christ's body in the eucharist, not by transubstantiation but by impanation. Subpanation, meanwhile, is the view that Christ "is under the form of bread and wine in a localized or materialistic sense" [Century Dictionary].
