Transformaci

Transformaci is not a widely established standalone term in English-language reference works. In practice, it most often appears as an inflected or truncated form of the word transformation in other languages, or as part of language-specific spellings such as those found in some Slavic languages. The exact appearance and meaning of a form like transformaci depend on the grammatical system of the language in question, and in many contexts it is not treated as a separate lexical entry in its own right. Because of this, reliable sources typically discuss the broader concept of transformation rather than a separate term called transformaci.

In mathematics and computer science, a transformation is an operation that maps elements from one set to another, preserving particular structures in some cases. Examples include geometric transformations (rotations, translations, reflections), linear transformations, and coordinate changes. In data processing, transformations convert data from one representation to another, often as part of ETL (extract, transform, load) pipelines.

In linguistics, transformation refers to rules that convert one grammatical structure into another, a central idea in transformational-generative grammar. In the social sciences and cultural studies, transformation denotes processes of change in institutions, economies, identities, or technologies, which may be gradual or rapid and may affect multiple levels of society.

Etymology: transformation derives from Latin transformatio, from trans- 'across' plus forma 'form'. The form transformaci, when encountered, is typically a language-specific inflected variant rather than a distinct English term. See also transformation, transform, and data transformation.
