Definition
A simplified diagram or plan showing the basic structure or outline of something, or treating something in a very simplified way without details.
Etymology
From Greek schema meaning form or shape, plus -atic. The word entered English in the 1700s referring to diagrams used in science and engineering, evolving from its Greek roots about visual representation.
Kelly Says
Engineers and scientists use schematic diagrams to strip away confusing details and show only essential relationships—like an electrical schematic showing wiring without the actual physical location of wires. This reductive approach, while losing information, gains clarity and understanding.
