Morphology
spectrographic = spectrograph (transparent) = spectrograph + ic
Formed by straightforward suffixation from the noun 'spectrograph' to mean 'relating to a spectrograph'; the derivation is regular though technical.
Etymology
Spectrographic comes from the parts spectro- (from spectrum, 'a range of light or signals') and -graphic ('to write' or 'record'), the same graph in photograph; so spectrographic literally means 'writing or recording a spectrum', which is why it describes machines or methods that record the range of light or other signals for study.
