charts
/tʃɑːrts/
When used as a noun, "charts" is typically plural when referring to data visualizations or music rankings, but can be singular ("a chart") for a single diagram. In navigation (nautical or aeronautical), the word "chart" is preferred over "map" because it specifically refers to tools used for plotting a course. As a verb, "charts" is the third-person singular present form of "chart." It is commonly used in medical contexts to describe the act of recording patient data.
