This word carries a sense of bridge-building or a phased movement. It describes a journey between two distinct points rather than an abrupt snap. It suggests a sequence where the old state is gradually replaced by the new, often implying a planned or natural evolution. In modern social contexts, it specifically refers to the process of changing one's gender expression or legal status to align with their identity. In technical or musical contexts, it refers to the seamless connection between two different sections or states to avoid a jarring disruption.

Countable when referring to a specific instance of change (a transition). Uncountable when referring to the general process of changing (transition).
