Did you know?
- 'Chart', 'card', 'carton', and 'charter' are all the same word in disguise: each comes from Latin 'charta', a leaf of papyrus - the original blank sheet you could write, draw, or map on.
Word origin
From Latin 'charta' ('leaf of paper, papyrus sheet'), via Middle French 'charte'; the same root gives 'card', 'carton', and 'charter'.
Remember it
A CHART starts with a 'chart' of land - and it shares its root with 'card', the small paper you also read at a glance.
A little poem
