I noticed that your art style has changed a lot recently.

Yeah, I've been experimenting with different techniques.

Root Explanation

Amorphously → It is formed from "a-" (meaning without) and "morphe" (from Greek, meaning form or shape) and the suffix "-ous" (meaning full of). The word describes something that is without a definite form or shape.

Memory Tip

Think of 'without' ('a-') and 'form' ('morphe') to remember that 'amorphously' means lacking a definite shape.
