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.
