The medical terminology combining form for "record" is "graph" or "gram." It is used in terms like electrocardiogram (ECG) or electroencephalogram (EEG) to refer to a graphical record of a particular body function.
A combining form, sometimes called a root of the word, is a part that identifies the thing you are talking about. For example, "encephal/o" would indicate that the word has to do with the brain. The "/o" at the end means that an "o" might be included, depending on whether it is followed by a consonant or vowel. ElectroENCEPHALOgram has to do with the brain, and is a record (-gram) obtained by measuring electric waves. the "o" is needed b ecause "gram" starts with a consonant. ENCEPHALitis is inflammation of the brain. No "o" is needed because "itis" starts with a vowel.
For example the word hydrocephaly (hydro = water + cephal = head + y = process), means the process of water in the head. The true combining form is enceph- which means "in the head" and many times refers to the brain. Electroencephalogram (electro = electricity + encephalo = in head [brain] + gram = writing [tracing]) is a test that is run to look at the electrical activity of the brain.
The combining forms in the word "telegram" are "tele-" meaning distant or far off, and "-gram" meaning message or something written.
