choreography = choreograph (transparent) = choreograph + y
Formed directly from the verb 'choreograph' with a standard noun-forming suffix; the core meaning 'designing dance movements' follows directly from the verb.
Etymology
Choreography comes from Greek parts choros 'dance' and -graphy 'writing'. Think of it as 'dance-writing' — a plan of dance moves, so choreography is the art of designing sequences of movement.
