Morphology
transmogrification = transmogrify (opaque) = trans + mogrify + ation
The noun is a regular deverbal suffixation from 'transmogrify', but the base verb itself is whimsical and not semantically transparent for most learners.
Etymology
Transmogrification comes from trans- ('change' or 'across') plus the playful part mogrify that sounds like 'morph' or 'modify'. In games, think of it as a 'magic' way to change how an item looks without changing how it works, which is exactly what transmogrification means in video games.
