Etymology: "Graphed" is the past tense and past participle of "graph," a verb meaning to chart data visually. The verb is younger than the noun it comes from: the noun "graph" is a clipping of "graphic formula," a term from 1878 for a mathematical expression drawn as a diagram, and the verb followed in 1889. So the word took its shape from a shortened technical phrase, and the verb only appeared once people were drawing these diagrams routinely. The root "graph" comes from the Greek "graphein," meaning "to write" or "to draw." English has borrowed this element for many words, such as "photograph" and "telegraph," so "graph" fits into a large family built from the same Greek stem.
