metamorphous

/mˌɛɾəmˈɔɹfəs/ adj

metamorphic

Word Origin From Greek 'meta' (change) and 'morphe' (form) — literally 'changing form'. The adjective form with -ous means 'having the quality of metamorphosis'. The same roots give us metamorphosis, amorphous (without form), and even morphine (named after Morpheus, the god of dreams who shapes forms). A word that captures transformation.
