Morphology

bibliography = biblio + graphy

The word is built from classical combining forms meaning 'book' and 'writing', but the modern sense of a scholarly list of sources is specialized and not fully predictable from the parts alone.

Etymology

Bibliography comes from Greek parts biblio- ('book') and -graphy ('writing'). So a bibliography is literally 'writing about books', which is why it is the written list of books and articles used in a paper.
