istogramma
histogram; bar chart
noun ee-stoh-GRAHM-mah Rare
Origin: From Greek histos (mast/column) + gramma (writing, drawing).
Usage Note
Istogramma follows the large group of Italian masculine nouns ending in -ma borrowed from Greek (tema, problema, programma, sistema) — all masculine despite the -a ending. So it is l'istogramma (masculine, taking lo before the elision), not la. The plural is istogrammi. It is used in statistics and data visualisation contexts.
Examples
"L'istogramma mostra la distribuzione dei dati."
Natural Translation
The histogram shows the distribution of the data.
