Root Explanation

Holographic → It is formed from "holo-" (from Greek "holos", meaning whole or entire) and "graphos" (from Greek, meaning to write or to record). The word "holographic" refers to a method of recording and reproducing three-dimensional images, capturing the whole image in a way that can be viewed from different angles.

Memory Tip

Think of 'whole' ('holo-') and 'writing' or 'recording' ('graphos') to remember that holographic means capturing a complete image.
