This word originates from Greek 'ondo-' (meaning wave) and '-gram' (meaning something written or recorded). An ondogram is a written record or representation of wave patterns.

Imagine a wave being 'written down' — 'ondo-' refers to waves, and '-gram' means something recorded. This helps you remember that an ondogram is a record of wave patterns.
