Morphology

latergram = later + gram (semi-transparent) = later + gram

The components 'later' and 'gram' are clear, but the specific meaning related to social media is not immediately apparent.

Etymology

Latergram mixes later (meaning 'after') with -gram, the ending from Instagram. So a latergram is a photo you post on social media some time after you took it, not right away.
