A detailed written description or account of something, particularly used in technical or specialized fields.
From en- (prefix meaning 'to put into') + graphy (from Greek graphia, meaning 'writing or description'). The term combines the sense of 'putting into writing' with systematic description.
This word represents one of those technical terms that linguists and scholars use but the general public rarely encounters—similar to how 'engraphy' joins 'photography,' 'geography,' and 'biography' as different ways of 'writing' about the world around us.
