Morphology

anemography = anemo + graphy

The word is transparently built from the combining form 'anemo-' meaning wind and the suffix '-graphy' meaning recording or writing.

Etymology

The word anemography comes from Greek parts anemo- meaning 'wind' and -graphy meaning 'writing' or 'recording', the same idea you see in graph or photograph. So, anemography is the measuring and recording of the wind's speed and direction.
