Etymology
'self-transformation' originates from the combination of 'self,' meaning 'one's own person,' and 'transformation,' from Latin 'transformare,' where 'trans-' meant 'across' and 'formare' meant 'to form.'
'self-transformation' evolved from the concept of 'transformation' in the 16th century, with the prefix 'self-' added in modern English to denote personal change.
Initially, 'transformation' meant 'a change in form or appearance,' but with 'self-' it evolved to mean 'personal change or growth.'
