Etymology
Nomogram comes from Greek parts nomo- meaning 'rule' and -gram meaning 'something written' or 'drawing'. You can see the same -gram in diagram, and because nomo- is 'rule', a nomogram is a simple drawn chart that shows the 'rule' between numbers so you can read answers without doing the full math.
