transforms
Alters into another
Transforms is the verb form of transform, meaning to change something significantly in form, appearance, or nature.
A caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.
A renovation transforms a space.
The word suggests thorough change rather than minor adjustment: The new coach completely transforms how the team plays defense.
In mathematics and computing, transforms are operations that convert data from one form to another.
