The word "logical" derives from the Late Latin "logicalis," which stems from the Greek "logikos" (pertaining to reason or speech). The root "logic" traces back to "logos" (Greek for "word," "reason," or "principle"), reflecting the ancient connection between language and rational thought. The suffix "-al" (from Latin "-alis") converts the noun into an adjective, emphasizing adherence to reasoned principles. Over time, "logical" evolved to describe systematic, coherent thinking in both philosophy and everyday contexts.
