logically
UK: ˈlɒdʒ.ɪ.kəl.i | US: ˈlɑː.dʒɪ.kəl.i
adv. in a way that is based on clear, sound reasoning
adv. in a manner expected or consistent with the principles of logic
The word "logically" derives from the root "logic," which originates from the Greek "logikē" (meaning "reasoning" or "discourse"), via Latin "logica." The suffix "-al" turns "logic" into the adjective "logical," meaning "pertaining to logic." The adverbial suffix "-ly" then modifies it to describe actions performed in a reasoned or coherent manner. This progression reflects the transformation from abstract reasoning (logic) to descriptive action (logically).
