Adaptation
1. The action or
process of adapting, fitting, or suiting one thing to another.
2. The process of modifying a thing so as to suit new conditions: as, the
modification of a piece of music to suit a different instrument or
different purpose; the alteration of a dramatic composition to suit a
different audience; the alteration of form which a word of one language
often undergoes to make it fit the etymological or phonetic system of
another” (OED on-line)
