Root Explanation

Photograph → It is formed from "photo-" (from Greek "phōs", meaning light) and "graph" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write or draw). The word "photograph" means to write or draw with light, referring to the process of capturing images using light.

Memory Tip

Imagine capturing an image by 'writing' ('graph') with 'light' ('photo-') — that's how a photograph is created.
