Venn
Set diagram type
Venn appears almost exclusively in Venn diagram, a graphic showing relationships between sets as overlapping circles.
The overlapping regions represent elements shared by multiple sets.
Named after the nineteenth-century English logician John Venn, these diagrams are standard tools in logic, mathematics, and data visualization.
Informally, people use Venn as shorthand: There's a Venn between people who love hiking and people who love coffee.
