覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 transformation「変換・変化」の複数形で、語末に -s を加え、通常 /z/ と発音します。transform「形や状態を変える」に、作用・過程を表す -ation を付けた名詞です。data transformations や color transformations のように、複数の変換処理や変化をまとめて思い浮かべましょう。
Transformations is the plural of transformation, so it refers to more than one change or conversion. Start with transform, “to change the form or state of something,” then connect -ation with a process or result and final -s with plurality. The plural ending is normally pronounced /z/ here. Picture a program applying several data transformations one after another, or an art class comparing different color transformations. These common settings make the word easy to associate with a series of distinct changes rather than one single change.

transformations の語源・成り立ち Etymology
transformationsはラテン語transformare「形を越えて変える」由来で、trans-「向こうへ」+ form「形」+ -ation「作用」+ -s「複数」に分けられます。関連語はtransform、form。『形が別の姿へ渡ること』と考えると、変換・変形の意味がつかみやすい語です。
Transformations is formed from transformation plus the plural ending -s. Transformation comes through Latin transformatio from transformare, combining trans-, conveying movement across or beyond, with forma, “form or shape.” The noun-forming element -ation identifies an action, process, or result. Thus, transformations literally presents multiple acts or results of changing form. Transform and form belong to the same word family.
