Morphology

bologram = bolometer (opaque) = bolo + gram

Formed by attaching the combining element '-gram' to a clipped/instrument base (bolometer/bolo); this is a technical formation unlikely to be predictable to an average B1 learner.

Etymology

Bologram comes from the instrument bolometer, which measures radiation, and the ending -gram meaning 'a record', as in telegram. So, a bologram is a recorded picture of radiation made by a bolometer.
