diagram

Labeled visual breakdown

A diagram is a drawing that explains or illustrates something, typically using lines, shapes, and labels rather than realistic depiction: a diagram of the human heart, a wiring diagram.

Diagrams simplify complex information into visual form—flowcharts, floor plans, circuit schematics.

To diagram something is to represent it this way; in grammar education, to diagram a sentence is to map its structure.
