Morphology
electromyographic = electromyography (semi-transparent) = electro + myo + graph + ic
This is a regular adjectival formation from the technical noun 'electromyography', so the meaning is directly recoverable from the base.
Etymology
Electromyographic is made of three parts: electro- meaning 'electricity', myo- meaning 'muscle', and -graphic meaning 'writing or recording', and you can see electro- in electric and -graphic in autograph. So an electromyographic test is like 'writing down' a muscle's electricity, which is why it means a recording of electrical activity in muscles.
