Morphology
holographic = holograph (transparent) = holo + graph + ic
The adjective is a regular -ic formation from holograph, so the meaning is directly recoverable.
Etymology
Holographic comes from the roots holo- 'whole' and -graph 'write'. So a holographic document is one that is 'wholly written' by its author, which is why a holographic will is entirely in the writer's handwriting.
