Related to organizing, planning, and managing the practical details of a project, operation, or journey, especially moving materials and people.
From 'logistics,' derived from French 'logistique' and Greek 'logistikos' (of calculation). It originally meant the art of calculation and movement of military supplies, later generalized to any complex planning.
The word came from military strategy—keeping armies fed and supplied across distances is incredibly complex, so 'logistics' became the word for all the messy, invisible planning that makes grand operations actually work.
