Morphology
electrocardiographic = electrocardiograph (semi-transparent) = electro + cardio + graph + ic
The adjective is formed regularly from the technical noun electrocardiograph with the suffix -ic, but the word remains specialized and not immediately guessable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Electrocardiographic breaks into three parts: electro- 'electricity', cardio- 'heart', and -graphic 'writing or recording'. So, something electrocardiographic is a 'writing' or record of the heart's electrical activity, like the lines or picture you get from a heart test.
