'fancifully-transformed' originates from the English word 'fanciful,' which comes from 'fancy,' and 'transformed,' from Latin 'transformare,' where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'formare' meant 'to form.'

'fancifully' evolved from 'fancy' in Middle English, and 'transformed' from Latin 'transformare,' eventually becoming the modern English word 'fancifully-transformed.'

Initially, 'fancifully' meant 'in a manner of fancy or imagination,' and 'transformed' meant 'changed in form.' Over time, it evolved into its current meaning of 'imaginatively altered.'
