Morphology

myography = myo + graphy

This is a technical Greek-based formation from myo and -graphy, but the meaning is not readily inferable for an average learner.

Etymology

Myography comes from the Greek parts myo- meaning 'muscle' and -graphy meaning 'writing' or 'description'. So myography is like 'writing about muscles', which helps explain why it can mean a study or description of how muscles are arranged.
