Did you see the sonogram from the doctor’s visit?

Root Explanation

Sonogram → It is formed from "sono-" (from Latin "sonus", meaning sound) and "-gram" (from Greek "gramma", meaning something written or recorded). A sonogram is a written or recorded representation of sound, typically used in medical imaging to visualize internal structures.

Memory Tip

Think of 'sound' ('sono-') being 'recorded' ('-gram') — that's how a sonogram captures images based on sound waves.
