Morphology

discography = disc (semi-transparent) = disc + graphy

The word is built from the recognizable base 'disc' plus the classical suffix '-graphy', but the specialized sense 'complete list of recordings' is not fully predictable for a beginner.

Etymology

Discography comes from the parts disc, meaning 'record' or 'CD', and -graphy, meaning 'writing', like in biography. So a discography is a written list of an artist's records and recordings.
