Etymology: < post-classical Latin metastasis (6th cent. as a rhetorical term, although the Greek word is attested in Latin context as a rhetorical term already in Quintilian) and its etymon ancient Greek μετάστασις removal, change (in sense 2a in the Hippocratic Corpus, in Hellenistic Greek as a rhetorical term) < μετα- meta- prefix + στάσις stasis n., after μεθιστάναι to remove, change. Compare Middle French, French métastase (1586 in Middle French in sense 2a, 1840 as a rhetorical term in sense ‘retortion’).
