GreekCEFR B1
Root
Greek 'graphikos' (of writing)
Greek graphikos → Latin graphicus → French graphique → English graphic
In a word
Greek graphikos = 'belonging to writing'. The root covered writing and drawing — anything inscribed by hand. That's why charts, design, and vivid descriptions all share one English word: graphic. The Greek root was wider than the English word; the generosity is still inside it.
Examples

The report includes several graphics.
