logically

Logically is an adverb in English that describes the manner in which something is done in a way that follows the principles of logic. It is used to indicate that a statement, argument, or inference is made with reasoning that is consistent and coherent. Examples include: "The conclusion follows logically from the evidence," and "If you accept the premises, the result should logically follow." In philosophy, mathematics, science, and everyday discourse, logically often accompanies terms like valid, sound, or coherent.

Etymology and usage notes: logically is formed from the adjective logical by adding the suffix -ly. It is closely associated with phrases such as logically valid, logically sound, and logically necessary, and it can be used to contrast rational versus irrational reasoning or to emphasize methodological rigor.
