Venn + diagram
The element 'diagram' clearly signals a type of drawing showing relationships, so a learner who knows 'diagram' will understand it's some kind of diagram. However 'Venn' is an eponym/proper name without inherent semantic content that would indicate overlapping circles or set relationships, so the specific meaning is not predictable without prior exposure.
Etymology
Venn diagram is named after John Venn and is a picture made of overlapping circles. The area where the circles overlap shows things the groups have in common, so we use a Venn diagram to show 'shared' items or 'similarities and differences'.
