Root Explanation

Thermogram → It is formed from "thermo-" (from Greek "thermos", meaning heat) and "-gram" (from Greek "gramma", meaning something written or recorded). The word "thermogram" refers to a written or recorded representation of heat.

Memory Tip

Think of 'heat' ('thermo-') being 'recorded' ('-gram') — that's what a thermogram does.
