Morphology
sociogram = social + gram (semi-transparent) = socio + gram
The word is formed from the bound combining form 'socio-' and '-gram'; learners who don't recognise bound forms may find it less transparent.
Etymology
Sociogram comes from socio- meaning 'together' or 'companion' and -gram meaning 'a written thing' or 'picture', like in diagram. So a sociogram is literally a 'picture' of who is connected to whom in a group, which is why it shows friendships and relationships.
