μεταμορφώνω

Etymology: From Ancient Greek 'μεταμορφόω' (metamorphóō), composed of 'μετά' (metá, meaning 'after', 'beyond', or indicating change) and 'μορφή' (morphḗ, meaning 'form', 'shape'). This is the same root that gives English the word 'metamorphosis'. The concept refers to a complete change in form, appearance, or structure. In Greek mythology, metamorphosis was a common theme, with gods and goddesses transforming themselves or others into animals, plants, or natural features.
