'amebiform' originates from the Greek word 'amoibē,' meaning 'change,' combined with the suffix '-form,' indicating shape or form.

'amoibē' transformed into the Latin word 'amoeba,' and eventually became the modern English word 'amebiform' through scientific terminology.

Initially, it meant 'changeable in form,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'resembling an amoeba.'
