A form of deductive reasoning consisting of two premises and a conclusion that logically follows from them.
From Greek 'syllogismos' meaning 'a reckoning together, conclusion,' from 'syn-' (together) + 'logizesthai' (to reason, count).
A syllogism is logic's classic recipe: two facts go in, and one conclusion pops out — like 'All cats are animals. Fluffy is a cat. Therefore, Fluffy is an animal.'
