Etymology: "Morphous" is built from the Greek "morphē", meaning form or shape, with the English adjective ending "-ous", meaning having or full of. Together they mean having a form. Its meaning is clearest when set beside its more familiar relative, "amorphous", which adds the Greek prefix "a-", meaning without, to the same root to produce "without form". Remove that prefix and the meaning reverses, leaving a shape-having counterpart to the more common term.
