Conversation

Have you ever seen a holograph?

No, I haven't. What is it exactly?

It's a document that's written entirely in the author's handwriting.

Root Explanation

Holograph → It is formed from "holo-" (from Greek "holos", meaning whole or entire) and "graph" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write). The word "holograph" refers to a document that is entirely handwritten by the person whose signature it bears, thus being a whole or complete writing by that individual.

Memory Tip

Think of 'whole' ('holo-') and 'writing' ('graph') to remember that a holograph is a document that is entirely written by one person.
