"Transportation?"

Hmmm... not quite. I'm looking for a calque, a literal translation of metastasis, "trans" + place. And yes, Faldage, I'm looking for words that really exist someplace outside of my febrile imagination. I checked out "translate", and that seems to be just the thing. I refer to AHD4's definition number 4: To transfer from one place or condition to another.

Cool. Another pair for my list.
