Root Explanation
Transmogrified → It is formed from "trans-" (meaning across or beyond) and "mogrify" (a playful alteration of the word 'modify', which itself comes from Latin 'modificare', meaning to change). The word 'transmogrified' means to change or transform in a surprising or magical manner, often in a whimsical way.
Memory Tip
Think of something being changed 'across' ('trans-') in a surprising way — that's what transmogrified means.
