Etymology
1. "to change completely," 1656, apparently a perversion of transmigure, from transmigrate, perhaps influenced by modify.
2. 17th century; origin uncertain, but possibly from transmigure, transmigrate. It is also possible that this word is a formation derived from maugre, hence it originally signified the "evil eye", but under the influence of the former etymologies shifted its meaning to its sense of "transformation". Another possibility is a humorous blending of transfigure and modify.
