Root Explanation

Transform → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across) and "formare" (meaning to shape or form). The word describes the act of shaping or forming something across a change.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'shaped' ('formare') in a new way 'across' ('trans-') — that's why transform means to change shape or form.
