'arteriographic' originates from New Latin/Modern medical formation, specifically combining 'arterio-' (from Latin 'arteria', meaning 'artery') and the suffix '-graphic' (from Greek 'graphikos', meaning 'writing' or 'drawing').

'arteriographic' changed from the noun 'arteriography' (New Latin/modern medical coinage from 'arteria' + Greek '-graphia') and was formed as an adjective meaning 'of or relating to arteriography.'

Initially formed to mean 'pertaining to the recording or imaging of arteries,' and it has retained this technical meaning in medical usage.
