Detailed explanation-1: -Both logic and logistics ultimately derive from the Greek logos, meaning “reason.” But while logic derives directly from Greek, logistics took a longer route, first passing into French as logistique, meaning “art of calculating, ‘’ and then into English from there.
Detailed explanation-2: -The term logistics is attested in English from 1846, and is from French: logistique, where it was either coined or popularized by military officer and writer Antoine-Henri Jomini, who defined it in his Summary of the Art of War (Précis de l’Art de la Guerre).
Detailed explanation-3: -The word “logistics” is derived from the Greek adjective logistikos meaning “skilled in calculating", and the corresponding Latin word logisticus.
