Morphology

FitnessGram = fitness + gram (semi-transparent) = fitness + gram

Although composed of recognizable elements, the specific use to name a branded report (rather than indicating weight or a standard lexical compound) is not fully predictable for learners.

Etymology

FitnessGram also refers to the actual report you receive after the test, with gram meaning a written record; that's why a FitnessGram shows your personal fitness scores and progress.
