Morphology
choreography = choreograph (semi-transparent) = choreograph + y
Built from 'choreograph' but the technical sense 'notation/representation of movements' is a specialized extension that may not be obvious to all learners.
Etymology
Choreography comes from Greek parts choros 'dance' and -graphy 'writing'. A helpful image is 'writing the dance' with symbols on paper, so choreography can mean the written notation that records each movement.
