Morphology

neurographic = graphic (opaque) = neuro + graph + ic

Although the word is built from neuro- + graphic, the therapeutic drawing technique is a specialized coined sense that is not directly predictable from the parts.

Etymology

Neurographic comes from neuro- 'nerve' (as in neuron) and -graphic 'drawing' (as in graphic). So neurographic art is a way of drawing with flowing lines that helps people express feelings and relax.
