For someone who knows 'amorphous', the shortened form 'amorph' keeps essentially the same meaning.
Etymology
Amorph comes from the old Greek parts a- meaning 'not' and morph meaning 'shape', so it means 'without shape'. That's why we call something amorph when it has no clear form, like a melting figure or drifting clouds.
