Root Explanation

Videography → It is formed from "video" (from Latin "videre", meaning to see) and "-graphy" (from Greek "grapho", meaning to write or record). The word "videography" refers to the process of recording visual images, essentially writing or capturing what is seen.

Memory Tip

Think of 'seeing' ('videre') and 'recording' ('grapho') together — that's how videography means capturing visual images.
