'anacletica' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'anakletikos', where 'ana-' meant 'up' and 'kletikos' meant 'calling or summoning'.

'anakletikos' transformed into the Latin word 'anacletica', and eventually became the modern English word 'anacletica'.

Initially, it meant 'a calling or summoning', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'a type of logical argument'.
