Origin of chorography
Semi-learned borrowing from Latin chōrographia, from Ancient Greek χωρογραφία (khōrographía), from χωρογρᾰ́φος (khōrogrắphos) [itself from χώρα (khṓra) + -γρᾰ́φος (-grắphos)] + -ία (-ía). By surface analysis, choro- + -graphy.
From Ancient Greek χορός (khorós, “dance ring, round dance”) + -γραφία (-graphía). By surface analysis, chorus + -graphy. Compare Greek χορογραφία (chorografía).
