A real build on two familiar pieces: the prefix trans- ('across, over') and the verb formi ('to shape'), both out of Latin. Shaping something across into another shape, which is precisely what Latin transformare meant.

Examples
.
The rain turned the field into a lake.
.
He turned the old house into a school.
.
Love can transform a person.
This seam is genuine, and it pays off: once - is in hand you also get , translokiĝi and transdoni sitting nearby. Watch the pattern the examples use: what a thing becomes takes plus the accusative, , because it marks motion into a new state. For the intransitive, use i: the field turns into a lake by itself.
