Morphology

stereogram = stereo + gram (opaque) = stereo + gram

Both elements are Greek combining forms whose technical senses ('stereo' = three-dimensional/solid; '-gram' = record/written thing) are not widely known to average B1 learners, so the meaning is not readily inferable.

Etymology

Stereogram comes from two parts: stereo- meaning 'solid' or 'three-dimensional' and -gram meaning 'a drawing' or 'picture', like in diagram. So a stereogram is a 'solid picture' that is made to look three-dimensional.
