Amorphous

Amorphous (Adjective): having no definite form.

“Across from the airport, just east of the Strip, the whole conglomeration like strange amorphous triple junction…”

I encountered the word Amorphous while I was reading Walk with Me by David L. Ulin. I never heard the word before and the word before it is strange, so I know it had to be something was strange however, in this case the definition of the word is shapeless or formless. In the sentence he is saying how “Some strange shapeless triple junction.” the word origin came from the Greek word morphe and was first used in 1731.
