Morphology
choreograph = choreography (transparent) = choreo + graph
The verb is straightforwardly derived from the noun 'choreography' and means to create or arrange the dance.
Etymology
Choreograph comes from Greek parts chore 'dance' and -graph 'to write', the same -graph in autograph and photograph. So to choreograph a dance is like 'writing' its steps and movements, which is why it means making and arranging a dance for a performance.
