Morphology

videography = video (transparent) = video + graphy

The word is transparently built from 'video' and the learned suffix '-graphy', referring to the practice or art of recording video.

Etymology

Videography comes from the Latin root videre, which means 'to see', and the ending -graphy, which means 'writing' or 'recording', like in photography. So, videography is the art or job of 'recording what you see', the process of making video recordings.
