Metaphorphisis: Semantic process by which a word and its meaning changes its structure to become another word. All words are linked by metaphorphisis. Metaphorphisis allows for each word to simultaneously convey its own distinct meaning while semantically bridging to many other words to demonstrate the relational nature of all things.
For example, through its etymological roots, "source" becomes "beginning" and at the same time it has always been beginning. "Beginning" then is/becomes foremost or initial stage which in turn leads to "development." From here, anything can be developed! Metaphorphisis demonstrates that all things are reflections of oneness in the language of source. This source domain is the beginning; the fountainhead of the stream from which all metaphors are made.
"A conceptual metaphor," says Alice Deignan, "is a connection between two semantic areas, or domains, in this case HAPPY IS UP the concrete domain of direction (UP) and the abstract domain of emotion (HAPPY). The domain that is talked of metaphorically, 'emotion' in this example, is known as the target domain, and the domain that provides the metaphors, 'direction' in this example, is known as the source domain. The source domain is typically concrete and the target domain is typically abstract" (Metaphor and Corpus Linguistics, 2005).

The concept of metaphorphisis shows how one thing changes into another by virtue of its share resonant qualities. However the new thing is distinct and its new qualities go on to create another metaphorphisis and so on ad infinitum

I wrote this Metaphorty which is also a Metashorty, poem to recite on MLK Day:
Pour our libations
We have travelled four hundred five annuals
we are tired and parched
We have protested and cried
Seen our kind die
We have sweated and bled
Seeded and tread
Built walls and streets all over this land
Risen from ashes
Revived and Rebuilt
Voted, paid taxes
All while being strung toe tagged and called ratchet yet
We have demonstrated excellence in every way
In every arena
On every stage
We are beyond frustration
The next mode is rage
