Adjective [English]

IPA: /trɑːnsˈfɔːmətɪv/ [Received-Pronunciation], /tɹæns-/ [Received-Pronunciation], /tɹænsˈfɔɹmətɪv/ [General-American], [-ɾɪv] [General-American] Audio: LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-transformative.wav [Southern-England], en-us-transformative.ogg [Mid-Atlantic] Forms: more transformative [comparative], most transformative [superlative]
Etymology: From Medieval Latin transformātīvus (“transformative”), from Latin trānsfōrmātus (“transformed”) + -īvus (suffix attached to the perfect passive participial stems of verbs, forming deverbal adjectives meaning ‘doing or related to doing [the verb]’). Trānsfōrmātus is the perfect passive participle of trānsfōrmō (“to transform”), from trāns- (prefix meaning ‘across; beyond; through’) + fōrmō (“to fashion, form, format, shape”) (from fōrma (“appearance, figure, form, shape”); further etymology unknown, perhaps related to Ancient Greek μορφή (morphḗ, “a form, shape”)). The English word is analysable as transform + -ative.
