What is a camera diaphragm, isn’t it the same as the shutter? I’m starting out as an amateur photographer, and I’m stuck in the lingo.

The diaphragm or aperture is usually part of the lens. It controls how much light hits the film/sensor by becoming larger or smaller, just like the iris of your eye does.
the shutter also effects how much light hits the film/sensor. The shutter speed and aperture setting combined are usually referred to as the “exposure” for a given shot
