λόγοςword, reasonEtymology
The word comes from λογίζομαι, meaning to calculate or reckon, which itself comes from λόγος, meaning word or reckoning. The agent suffix -τής marks the person who performs the action, so λογιστής means the one who calculates. The root goes back to a PIE base meaning to collect or gather, since counting and speaking both start from gathering things into an order.
