\Zo`["o]*mor"phism\, n.
1. The transformation of men into beasts. [R.] --Smart.
2. The quality of representing or using animal forms; as,
   zo["o]morphism in ornament.
3. The representation of God, or of gods, in the form, or
   with the attributes, of the lower animals.
         To avoid the error of anthropomorphism, we fall into
         the vastly greater, and more absurd, error of
         zo["o]morphism.                       --Mivart.
