Etymology

The word 'morphed' is derived from the verb 'morph', which itself is noted to have originated from the Greek word 'morphē', meaning form or shape. The modern usage of 'morph' in English became popular in the 1980s, particularly in the context of visual effects and animation, where it described the transformation of one image into another. The term gained additional popularity in the digital age, used extensively in computer graphics to describe the seamless transition between images or states. Over time, the term has expanded beyond visual mediums and is now often used in various contexts to describe any process of transformation or change. The adaptation reflects a broader trend in language where technical jargon from specific fields permeates everyday speech.
