意味

To change; to undergo historical transition; to evolve or shift gradually over time. Refers to meaningful transformation across a defined period.

An irregular Group 3 (suru) verb formed from the noun 変遷 (transition, historical change). Unlike 変化する (which can describe rapid or trivial change), 変遷する implies a more gradual, historically significant evolution — the kind charted in academic papers and historical narratives. Often used with time markers: 時代とともに変遷する (to change with the times). Common in journalism, academic writing, and documentary narration.
