transforming
Undergoing complete change
Transforming is changing form, character, or function—usually dramatically.
A caterpillar transforming into a butterfly undergoes metamorphosis.
Transforming an industry means reshaping it fundamentally.
The word implies more than mere change: The experience was transforming—it altered something at its core.
