Continuing beyond meta, we get “morph”. Morph- is again a Greek root which means shape, or form. It has since been picked up by scientists to mean anything related with shape. When there are many shapes of a being, it’s called a polymorph, and the study of such shapes may be called morphology. If you find a fruit which looks strangely like a person and is now your president, then that fruit is anthropomorphic (or in the form of a human). If you see three teenagers spontaneously change into primary coloured dresses as they begin to introduce themselves to you for no apparent reason, then you just saw them morphing into Power Rangers.
