How Demographic
Surface Forms
Morphology
demography = demo + graphy
Although the word is historically built from the classical combining forms demo- and -graphy, the meaning 'scientific study of populations' is not directly recoverable for an average learner from those parts.
Etymology
Demography comes from the Greek parts demos 'people' and -graphy 'writing' or 'recording', the same demos you see in democracy and the -graphy in photography. So demography is like 'writing about people', which is why it means the study and counting of human populations.
