WORD! 3- Metamorphosis (Video)

-Mitch, Jordan, Reed, Dan

Our word is metamorphosis.

Definition: A complete change in structure, form, appearance, or character due to transformation by magic or witchcraft.
In our own words: A transformation in any way, shape, or form.


Transformers are closely related to the word "metamorphosis". Transformers metamorphosize from cars into huge robots so that's why this picture and video below fits our word. They go from one thing and change into another. ( Ex: ice cream truck to robot with arms and legs.)

My word is a lot like mutation, but it's different in that it is not as widely used and it is more specific.

My word is the opposite of stasis, because it means to stay the same.

This words usefulness is five out of five stars because it is very descriptive and yet very easy to define. The word can be used in multiple occasions and is not a hard word to comprehend.
