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.
