I am not sure this change is clarifying anything. If you want
something clearer for "internal body text inside the commit message",
you could perhaps just use "body" or "body text".

I am not against using such latin words, but then why only in the body
and not in the subject too? And if it's used in the subject too, then
I am not sure it will make it easy for users to understand that the
example is using a simple commit message.

I can't remember why I didn't just use "body text", which I agree is
better than the (albeit famous) Latin phrase. It's shorter, simpler, and
also search-friendly (for cases where the user is not sure of exactly
which word they want to search for). Updated in v4 to use "body
text".
