alter

(v) - If you alter something, you change it.

  • Synonyms: change, adjust, adapt, modify, reform, renovate
  • Antonyms: continue, keep, fix, leave alone, ignore
  • Etymology: Late 14th Century PIE, from *al- meaning "beyond" + comparative suffix -ter (which is where we get the word other)
  • Morphology: alteration - n, altered - adj
  • Example: If your pants are too long, your mom may have to alter them to get them to fit you.
 Believe it or not, there are quite a few ways to alter Google.
Try searching "do a barrel roll" or zerg rush" and see what happens!
