Root Explanation

Barogram → It is formed from "baro-" (from Greek "baros", meaning weight) and "-gram" (from Greek "gramma", meaning something written or recorded). A barogram is a record of atmospheric pressure changes over time, thus relating to weight and measurement.

Memory Tip

Think of 'weight' ('baro-') being 'recorded' ('-gram') — that's how a barogram shows changes in atmospheric pressure.
