La forme abrégée «réaction rétrograde» est couramment utilisée lorsqu'il s’agit implicitement d’un contexte de métamorphisme. Comme «rétrométamorphose» ne semble pas être passé dans l'usage en français(voir la définition de «rétromorphose ou rétromorphisme» qui suit), il vaut mieux éviter d’utiliser le terme «réaction de rétrométamorphose». 6, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9action%20m%C3%A9tamorphique%20r%C3%A9trograde
