'dysmorphia' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'dysmorphia,' where 'dys-' meant 'bad' or 'difficult' and 'morphē' meant 'form' or 'shape.'

'dysmorphia' changed from the Greek word 'dysmorphia' and eventually became the modern English word 'dysmorphia.'

Initially, it meant 'bad form or shape,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a condition involving a distorted perception of one's body image.'
