Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of 'logical', stemming from the Greek 'logikos' (pertaining to speech or reason), and 'fallacy', originating from the Latin 'fallacia' (deceit or trick), entering Middle English via Old French in the 15th century. Originally denoting a deception or trick, the term evolved in philosophical and rhetorical discourse to specifically signify a flaw in reasoning that invalidates an argument.
