holographic = holography (semi-transparent) = holo + graph + ic
The form clearly points to holography, but the specialized technical meaning of laser-based 3D imaging is not fully predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Holographic also comes from the roots holo- 'whole' and -graph 'write', as in photograph where -graph means 'write' or 'record'. A helpful way to remember is that a holographic image records the 'whole' shape of an object so it appears three-dimensional, which is why the word now describes holograms and 3D displays.
