Morphology
genogram = geno + gram
Formed from the combining forms 'geno-' (family/kin) + '-gram' (record/diagram); the elements make the sense logical for learners familiar with such Greek combining forms but they are not standalone English words, so the relation is not fully transparent for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
Genogram comes from gene, meaning 'family' or 'birth', and -gram, meaning 'a written record', as in diagram. So a genogram is a drawn record that shows a family's relationships and health or behavior across generations.
