Etymology
Diaphragmatic comes from the Greek parts dia- meaning 'through' and phragma meaning 'fence' or 'barrier', so a diaphragm was a thin partition. In devices like cameras, speakers, or valves a diaphragm is a thin piece that controls light, sound, or flow, so diaphragmatic means 'relating to that thin partition'.
