Etymology
Transformation comes from Latin parts trans- ('across') and forma ('shape' or 'form'), meaning a 'change of form'. In grammar, a transformation is a rule that turns one sentence form into another, like changing a statement into a question, so the name fits the idea of moving a sentence into a new form.
