 * I think it may be Late Latin, and Muke thought it was from Greek from metaplasmós "reforming", anyhow...
 * metaplasmus est transformatio quaedam recti solutique sermonis in alteram speciem metri ornatusve causa from this book
 * Dicitur autem metaplasmus, quasi transformado, vel deformado, eo quod quasi a jure suo from this one
 * also I have seen it in a few etymologies for metaplasm Dictionary.com and Webster's 1913 among them. - TheDaveRoss 06:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
