Word origin
The word 'deform' originates from the Latin word 'deformare', which means 'to disfigure'. It has been used in the English language since the late 14th century. The concept of deformation has been studied in various fields such as physics, biology, and engineering. In biology, deformities can result from genetic mutations, injuries, or environmental factors. The term has also been used metaphorically to describe changes in shape or structure that deviate from the norm.
