词源
from Greek gramma 'thing written, letter of the alphabet', from graphein 'write'.
-gram|græm|repr. (chiefly) Gr. γράµµα something written, letter (of the alphabet). The older Eng. ns. with this ending fall into three classes: (1) adaptations of actual or assumable Gr. ns. in -γραµµα, derived from vbs. f. prep. + γράϕειν to write, and expressing the result of the action of the verb, as anagram, diagram, epigram, paragram, program (usu. in Fr. spelling programme); (2) compounds of a Gr. n. with γράµµα, f. legitimately assumable Gr. types, as chronogram, and (later) ideogram, logogram; (3) compounds of a numeral with γράµµα, or more frequently with γραµµή line, of which the Gr. type, where one exists, is a neut. adj. in -γραµµον, as monogram, hexagram, pentagram. (Yet a fourth kind of formation has one example in lipogram.) In the year 1857 the need for a shorter term for ‘telegraphic message’ was supplied by the introduction of telegram (previously proposed in 1852), which violates Gr. analogy, as an adv. like τῆλε could not correctly form a compound with a vb. or n., but which was found so convenient that it quickly became established, and has been adopted into several foreign langs. Later formations suggested by this word are the hybrids cablegram for ‘cable telegram’, pistolgram for an instantaneous photograph. Another recent formation, also suggested by telegram, but not open to the same objection, is phonogram for the record of sound made by the phonograph. In the denominations of weight in the metric system, decagram(me, kilogram(me, etc., -gram(me is the word gram2, gramme.2.

-gram
noun suffix, "that which is written or marked, from Greek gramma "picture, written letter, piece of writing," from stem of graphein "to draw or write" (see -graphy. In some words directly from Greek use of the word in compounds, in others a modern formation. Alternative -gramme is a French form. From telegram (1850s) the element was abstracted by 1979 (in Gorillagram, a proprietary name in U.S.), and put to wide use in forming new words, such as stripagram (1981). The construction violates Greek grammar, as an adverb could not properly form part of a compound noun.
-gram /gram/ suffix.
ORIGIN: Repr. Greek gramma, -atos thing written, letter of the alphabet, from graphein write.
Forming nouns with the sense ‘a thing written’, as chronogram, ideogram; esp. with the sense ‘a (written) message’, as telegram, cablegram, whence in recent use in the names of special types of humorous greetings message sent through commercial agencies and delivered by their representatives, as kissogram.
