changeful

/ˈtʃeɪndʒfəl/ adj

Changing frequently; very susceptible to change

Word Origin Changeful is simply change + ful, meaning 'full of change'. But change itself has a fascinating journey: from Late Latin cambiare 'to exchange, barter', which may come from a Celtic root. The same root gives us exchange, interchange, and even cambium (a layer of actively dividing cells in plants). So changeful describes something as variable as a marketplace.
