-graphycomb. form

Primary stress is attracted to the syllable immediately preceding this combining form and vowels may be reduced accordingly.

Etymology: = French, German -graphie, Spanish -grafía, Italian -grafia, Latin -graphia, representing Greek -γραϕία in nouns adapted < Greek or formed on Greek types.

The Greek nouns in -γραϕία are abstract nouns of action or function derived from the nouns (or adjectives) in -γράϕος (see -graph comb. form, -grapher comb. form). Many of these have been adapted in English (usually through the medium of other languages), and many other compounds of Greek elements on the analogy of them have been formed in English, or adapted from French or modern Latin. Some of the words with this ending denote processes or styles of writing, drawing, or graphic representation, as brachygraphy, calligraphy, stenography, cryptography, lithography, photography. More commonly they are names of descriptive sciences, as geography, bibliography (cf. the Greek βιβλιογραϕία, which means the writing of books), astrography, cometography, petrography, selenography, etc. Hybrid formations with this ending are rare, stratigraphy being almost the only example that has obtained general currency. All nouns in -graphy have actual or potential correlative agent-nouns in -grapher and adjectives in -graphic, -graphical.
