Root Explanation

Planogram → It is formed from "plan" (from Latin *planus*, meaning flat or level) and "-gram" (from Greek *gramma*, meaning something written or drawn). A planogram is a visual representation or diagram that shows how products should be arranged on shelves.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'flat' ('planus') layout that is 'drawn' ('gramma') to show how to arrange items on shelves.
