Morphology

neurographic = graphic (semi-transparent) = neuro + graph + ic

The word is transparently built from neuro- + graphic, but the medical sense is specialized and narrower than the ordinary meanings of the parts.

Etymology

Neurographic comes from neuro- 'nerve' (as in neuron) and -graphic 'writing' or 'drawing' (as in graphic). So in medicine neurographic means showing or recording the nerves, which is why a neurographic test or image looks at nerve function.
