grafo

graph

noun GRAH-foh Rare

Origin: from Greek graphos (written, drawn)

Usage Note

Grafo is the mathematical term for a graph in graph theory — a set of nodes (nodos or vértices) connected by edges (aristas). It is distinct from gráfico or gráfica, which refer to charts and visual diagrams in general. Grafo is narrowly technical (mathematics, computer science) and is a masculine noun, never an adjective.

Examples

"El grafo tiene cinco nodos y siete aristas."

Natural Translation

The graph has five nodes and seven edges.
