Not in my Latin dictionary. SemperBlotto 06:38, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

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)
