Root Explanation

Cinematographic → It is formed from "cinema" (from Greek "kínēma", meaning movement) and "-graphic" (from Greek "graphia", meaning writing or representation). The word "cinematographic" refers to the art or process of representing movement through film or motion pictures.

Memory Tip

Think of 'movement' ('kínēma') being captured in a 'writing' or representation ('-graphic') — that's what cinematographic means.
