ANTHROPOMORPHOSIS — [Noun] The transformation of a being into human form. From anthropo- (Greek ἄνθρωπος, "human") + morphosis (Greek μόρφωσις, "shaping, formation"), it is the literal becoming of flesh and thought. Unlike "anthropomorphism" (which dresses gods or objects in human traits) or "therianthropy" (which dances between beast and man), anthropomorphosis is the singular crossing of a threshold: clay animated by divine breath, a statue weeping real tears, or a fox who sheds its fur to step, naked and trembling, into the shape of a lover. It is the unbearable weight of assuming a soul.
