Root Explanation

Chronographic → It is formed from "chrono-" (from Greek "chronos", meaning time) and "graphic" (from Greek "graphia", meaning writing or description). The word "chronographic" refers to the writing or description of time, often in the context of recording events in chronological order.

Memory Tip

Think of 'chrono-' meaning time and 'graphic' meaning writing — so chronographic relates to writing about time.
