audiogram singular
audiograms plural

Morphology

audiogram = audio (semi-transparent) = audio + gram

The sense extends the idea of a recorded or graphed sound into a social-media graphic; the morphological parts still explain the formation, but the specific social-media usage is an extended, culture-specific sense.

Etymology

Audiogram comes from the parts audio- 'to hear' and -gram 'a written thing', like in diagram, so it literally means a 'picture of sound'. That's why an audiogram can also mean a short graphic or video that shows a sound wave with text or images for social media.
