Forms: 1600s– metabole, 1700s–1800s metabola.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Greek. Etymons: Latin metabola; Greek μεταβολή.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin metabola, metabole (see below) and their etymon ancient Greek μεταβολή change < μετα- meta- prefix + βολή a throw ( < an ablaut variant of the base of βάλλειν to throw: see ballista n.), after μεταβάλλειν to change.Senses of the ancient Greek word include those relating to medicine (compare sense 1), music (compare sense 3), rhetoric (compare quot. 1981 at sense 2), and politics (compare quot. 1983 at sense 2). Post-classical Latin metabola and metabole are attested from the 5th or 6th cent. in senses relating to medicine (in translations of Greek medical writers), music, and rhetoric, but the Greek word is found already in classical Latin authors (e.g. in Quintilian with reference to rhetoric and music). With uses relating to language or rhetoric compare also Middle French, French métabole (1553), after Quintilian.
