Morphology

barographic = barograph (transparent) = barograph + ic

Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'barograph' using '-ic', meaning 'relating to or of a barograph'.

Etymology

Barographic comes from the parts baro- meaning 'weight' used for air pressure, and -graph meaning 'to write' or 'record'. Think of barometer, a device that measures pressure, and a graph, a chart, so barographic means 'relating to recordings of air pressure'.
