'analogically' originates from the Greek word 'analogikos,' where 'ana-' meant 'up' or 'again' and 'logos' meant 'word' or 'reason.'

'analogikos' transformed into the Latin word 'analogicus,' and eventually became the modern English word 'analogical' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'pertaining to analogy,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
