Etymology
'logic' originates from Greek, specifically the word 'logikē,' where 'logos' meant 'word, reason, or plan.'
'logikē' transformed into the Latin word 'logica,' and eventually became the modern English word 'logic' through Old French.
Initially, it meant 'the science of reasoning,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
