Morphology

graphical + record

Both constituents contribute their literal meanings: 'graphical' (relating to visual/graph display) and 'record' (an account or stored data), so the phrase denotes a record presented visually. This compositional pattern is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, making the meaning predictable for a B1 learner who knows the parts.

Etymology

The phrase graphical record comes from the idea of a graphical picture that is also a record: imagine a pen moving across paper and drawing lines that record numbers so you can see patterns. That's why it means 'a picture of data'.
