transformatsya

In a mathematical or geometric context, a transformation is often called העתקה, which literally means 'copying' or 'transferring'.
The word טרנספורמציה is a purely phonetic loanword from English and Latin, meaning it does not follow the traditional Hebrew root system (shoresh) used to build most native words.
The word טרנספורמציה is written using the letter ט (Tet) to represent the 'T' sound, which is a standard convention for loanwords despite ט having a distinct historical sound.

טרנספורמציה היא לידה ומוות בעת ובעונה אחת.
Transformation is birth and death at the same time.
This sentence illustrates the philosophical concept of טרנספורמציה being birth and death simultaneously.
