Morphology
lithography = litho + graphy
This microfabrication sense is a specialized extension of the printing term, so most learners cannot recover the meaning from the morphemes alone.
Etymology
The word lithography keeps that idea in computer-chip work: litho- means 'stone' and -graphy means 'writing' (the same -graphy you see in photograph), so it describes 'writing' tiny circuit patterns onto a surface using light and special chemicals.
