fotografía

/fotoɡɾaˈfia/ · A2 · noun · f

photograph

fotografía — photograph

📷 foto + grafía = light + writing (Greek phos + graphe)

Same Greek roots as English photograph: foto (light) plus grafía (writing), so a photo is light-writing. The -grafía ending matches English -graphy, as in geografía and biografía. Stress falls on the í: fo-to-gra-FÍ-a.
