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 sense of a projected three-dimensional image 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 life-sized 3D image that shows the 'whole' person or thing, which is why it can seem to stand on a stage.
