The idiom "sea change" originates from Shakespeare's play "The Tempest," where Ariel sings, "Full fathom five thy father lies; Of his bones are coral made; Those are pearls that were his eyes: Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change." In the play, it signifies a transformation brought about by the sea, specifically the change of a human body into something different, like coral or pearls. Over time, this phrase has evolved and is now used to describe a profound, significant, or transformative change in various contexts, often related to a person's character, a situation, or a society.
