Understanding the suffix ‘morphism’ can be a difficult concept to grasp. The suffix ‘morphism’ is a combination of two Greek words, ‘morphe’ and ‘ismos’, which together mean ‘form’ or ‘shape’. Morphism is used to describe the transformation of a shape or form from one to another. There are several types of morphism, including ‘dysmorphism’, ‘adiamorphism’, ‘idiomorphism’, ‘automorphism’, and ‘symmorphism’.

Dysmorphism is the transformation of a shape or form in an abnormal or distorted way. Adiamorphism is the transformation of a shape or form without any change in its dimensions. Idiomorphism is the transformation of a shape or form into a unique shape or form. Automorphism is the transformation of a shape or form into itself. Symmorphism is the transformation of a shape or form into a symmetrical shape or form.
