What is a good definition for the word: anamorphically?

Question

I can't find this word in any dictionaries, and anywhere I can find it being used, the meaning is vague.

Answer 1

This word is a verb derived from the noun anamorphosis. This is the action of seeing a deformed figure when viewed through a distorted mirror such as one having a curved surface. To use your word you would have to say something like. "His shape was changed anamorphically by the curvature of the mirror as he looked into it."

Answer 2

Anamorphically means "in an anamorphic way"

anamorphic pertains to a either (1) a kind of distorting optical system or (2) a gradual evolution from one type of organism to another

the roots of the word are basically implying 1)change 2)shape
so it has to do which changing shape
