The word "monographic" derives from the combination of two roots: "mono" and "graph".
1. "Mono" stems from the Greek word "monos", meaning "alone" or "single". In English, "mono-" is a prefix used to indicate "one" or "single".
2. "Graph" originates from the Greek word "graphē", which translates to "writing" or "representation". It is derived from the verb "graphein", meaning "to write" or "to draw".
When these two elements combine, "monographic" refers to something that pertains to a single piece of writing or representation, typically used to describe a work, study, or publication that focuses on a particular subject in detail.
