About This Root
From Greek gramma (letter, written character), derived from graphein (to write). In English it splits into two fields: written records (grammar, telegram, epigram, anagram) and units of measurement (kilogram). The variant graph- shares the same Greek origin but tends toward the 'writing/drawing' sense.
