† metamorphistn.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French metamorphiste.

Etymology: < French †metamorphiste (1609) < post-classical Latin metamorphista (1569) < metamorph- (in classical Latin metamorphōsis metamorphosis n.) + classical Latin -ista -ist suffix. Compare post-classical Latin metamorphosici , glossed ‘quidam heretici’ (‘certain heretics’) in a glossary of c1495. Compare metamorphosist n. Compare Italian metamorfista (a1749).There is an attestation in post-classical Latin of metamorphosita (a1202) in Alain of Lille's Theologicae Regulae (1855) 638a; the sense is unclear, being probably equivalent to, or perhaps a mistake for, anthropomorphita (see anthropomorphist n.). N.E.D. (1906) gives the pronunciation as (metămǭ·ɹfist) /mɛtəˈmɔːfɪst/.

Obsolete.
