Diskography

/dɪsˈkɑɡrəfi/ noun

Definition

A comprehensive listing or catalog of recordings made by a musician or musical group.

Etymology

From disk (record) + -graphy (writing/recording). Combines Greek elements: diskos + graphia (writing), becoming common in the LP era.

Kelly Says

Diskography mirrors 'discography'—they're essentially the same word using different roots (Greek 'diskos' vs. Latin 'discus'), showing how English borrowed from multiple sources to describe recorded music.
