Root Explanation

Transfigure → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across or beyond) and "figurare" (meaning to shape or form). The word "transfigure" means to change or transform into a different shape or appearance, often in a significant or elevated way.

Memory Tip

Think of something being changed or transformed 'across' ('trans-') into a new 'shape' ('figurare') — that's why transfigure means to change form.
