Root Explanation

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

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'shaped' ('formare') in a new way 'across' ('trans-') — that's what transformation means.
