[ASk] Etymology

Hey, everyone. I make this thread to ask about the origin of some words. Right now I want to know where the word 'diagram' and 'pictogram' were derived from. They sound like Greek, and I know that the words must be around gram, dia, and picto. However, I don't know their meaning. Can somebody help me?

I have tried looking there, but it looks like the gram in pictogram was also derived from Latin, and it indicates a noun. Something like a gerrund, maybe?
