A parallelogram has four sides. Each side is parallel to the opposite one, and each angle is identical to the angle opposite.
The Latin root gram means "write" or "draw", and is used in many English words that refer to drawings or pictures.
Because, in this four sided figure, the opposite sides are parallel to each other.
