The word "monograph" combines the Greek-derived morpheme "mono-" (meaning "single" or "one") and "-graph" (from Greek "graphein," meaning "to write"). It originally referred to a written work focused on a single subject, distinguishing it from broader treatises or encyclopedic works. The term reflects the scholarly tradition of in-depth, specialized writing, particularly in academic and scientific contexts.
