Etymology
The word is the nisba adjective of مَنْطِق (manṭiq), 'logic.' That noun is built on the root ن-ط-ق, 'to speak, articulate,' with a mīm prefix. Medieval Arabic philosophers used مَنْطِق to render Greek logikē, since the Greek logos meant both speech and reason. The suffix -iyy then makes the adjective 'pertaining to logic.'
