Root Explanation

Discography → It is formed from "disco" (from Latin *discus*, meaning disk or disc) and "-graphy" (from Greek *grapho*, meaning to write). The word refers to the written or recorded works related to music on discs.

Memory Tip

Think of 'disco' as a disk that holds music and '-graphy' as writing about it — that's how discography means the collection of music recordings.
