Root Explanation

Kymogram → It is formed from "kyma" (from Greek κύμα, meaning wave) and "-gram" (from Greek γράμμα, meaning something written or recorded). The word "kymogram" refers to a recording or representation of waveforms, particularly in the context of sound or pressure waves.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wave' ('kyma') being 'recorded' ('-gram') — that's what a kymogram does, it captures the shape of waves.
