Root Explanation

Chorography → It is formed from "choro-" (from Greek "choros", meaning place or region) and "-graphy" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write or describe). The word refers to the description or mapping of a specific region or area.

Memory Tip

Think of 'place' ('choro-') being 'described' ('-graphy') — that's what chorography means, describing a specific area.
