morphed
Gradually changed form
Morphed is the past tense of morph, meaning to transform smoothly from one form into another.
The word comes from metamorphosis and gained currency through digital effects that seamlessly blend images: The actor's face morphed into a wolf.
It now applies broadly to any gradual transformation: The small startup morphed into a tech giant.
