Root Explanation

Chromatogram → It is formed from "chroma" (from Greek "chroma", meaning color) and "-gram" (from Greek "gramma", meaning something written or recorded). A chromatogram is a written record of colors, typically used in the context of chromatography to separate and analyze mixtures.

Memory Tip

Think of 'color' ('chroma') being 'written' or 'recorded' ('-gram') — that's what a chromatogram represents.
