Radiogram: meaning, definitions and examples

The term 'radiogram' originates from the combination of 'radio' and 'gram.' The word 'radio' comes from the Latin word 'radius,' meaning 'ray' or 'beam,' referring to the waves that carry the message, while 'gram' stems from the Greek word 'gramma,' meaning 'something written.' The use of radiograms began in the early 20th century with the advent of radio communication technology. Initially, radiograms were primarily used in maritime communication to send distress signals and navigation information. Over time, it evolved into a broader term for any message transmitted via radio, including personal communications and official messages, especially in remote areas where traditional mail services were unreliable.
