Transformation

/ˌtrænsfərˈmeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A complete or major change in someone or something’s form, appearance, or character.

Etymology

It comes from Latin 'transformatio', from 'transformare' meaning 'to change shape'. The suffix '-tion' turns the action into a noun.

Kelly Says

Transformation feels magical because it compresses thousands of tiny changes into a single before-and-after picture in our minds. We love transformation stories because they promise that who you are now isn’t the final version.
