Morphology

transform = form (transparent) = trans + form

The electrical sense (changing voltage/current) is a technical application of 'changing form/state', so the morphological relation is still clear.

Etymology

Transform comes from trans- 'across' and form 'shape'. So in electricity, to transform a voltage is to change its level or form, like a transformer device that makes voltage go up or down.
