Morphology
hologram = holo + gram
The elements 'holo-' and '-gram' are Greek combining forms, not standalone English words, so an average B1 learner cannot reliably derive the technical meaning 'three-dimensional photographic record' from the parts.
Etymology
The word hologram comes from Greek parts holo- 'whole' and -gram 'something written', like in telegram. So a hologram is a photographic record that stores the 'whole' view of an object and can be used to recreate a 3D image.
