Etymology
Monographic comes from the Greek parts mono- 'one' and -graph 'write', the same roots you see in monologue ('one speech') and autograph ('self-writing'). So a monographic study is a long, detailed piece that 'writes about one thing', which explains why it focuses closely on a single subject.
