The term "pictograph" is one of the few words that derives both from Latin and Greek. The first part of the word "picto-" comes from the Latin "pictus" meaning painted. The second, part, "-graph" comes from the Greek "graphos" meaning to draw or write. Thus the term "pictograph" means "painted writing" or, more intuitively, "writing with pictures."
