Root Explanation

Hologram → It is formed from "holo-" (from Greek "holos", meaning whole or entire) and "gram" (from Greek "gramma", meaning something written or drawn). The word "hologram" refers to a whole image that is recorded or drawn in three dimensions.

Memory Tip

Think of 'whole' ('holo-') and 'something written' ('gram') to remember that a hologram is a complete image that captures depth.
