scheme

scheme
\ \ [16] Greek skhéma meantform, figure’. Latin took it over as schēma and used it as the equivalent of figure in a range of applications, such asfigure of speechanddiagram’, many of which were originally taken over by English (‘In the text, by a very elegant scheme of speech he doesonce more set them at liberty’, John Tillotson, Sermons 1684). The modern senseplan’, which presumably developed out ofdiagram’, began to emerge in the mid 17th century.
