Based on clear reasoning and sound judgment; following the principles of logic and rational thought.
From Greek logikos meaning 'of or pertaining to speech or reason', from logos 'word, reason, principle'. Through Latin logicus, the word entered English carrying both linguistic and philosophical meanings of rational thought.
Logical connects our capacity for speech with our ability to reason, reflecting the ancient Greek insight that language and thought are intimately related. The word embodies humanity's ongoing effort to distinguish good reasoning from fallacious thinking, making it central to both philosophy and everyday decision-making.
