Etymology

Diagrammatically comes from diagram, which has the parts dia- meaning 'across' and -gram meaning 'something written or drawn'. A helpful image is a simple drawing or chart that shows how parts fit together, so diagrammatically means 'in a way like a diagram' or 'by using a drawing or chart'.
