Etymology
The term 'analogically' derives from the word 'analogy', which comes from the Greek word 'analogía', meaning 'proportion' or 'relation'. This Greek term is composed of 'ana' meaning 'upon' or 'according to' and 'logos' meaning 'word' or 'reason'. The use of the term in English dates back to the mid-19th century, and it has evolved to represent the method of reasoning that involves establishing connections between differing yet similar scenarios or concepts. The adverbial form '-ically' indicates the manner in which an action is performed, thereby encapsulating the essence of making comparisons or drawing parallels in thinking or reasoning processes.
