transform
Alter beyond recognition
Transform means to change something fundamentally—in form, appearance, nature, or character.
A caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.
A renovation transforms a space.
The word implies thorough change rather than minor adjustment: The experience transformed her outlook on life.
In mathematics and computing, a transform converts data from one form to another while preserving essential information.
