Etymology
Diagram comes from Greek parts dia- meaning 'through' and -gram meaning 'something written or drawn', so it is like a picture that 'writes across' the parts of something. Think of a graph, which uses the same writing/drawing root; a diagram is a simple drawing that helps you see how things connect or how they work.
