邏輯 [logic] a loanword (19th Century, late 清 Qing) from Greek λογική (the specific philosophical study of reasoning) or λόγος (which encompasses a broader semantic range). The English word "logic" also derives from Greek.
Of course, this doesn't mean Chinese (or English) did not have a word for similar concepts to logic before「邏輯」or "logic". English, for example, used words like "reason", "sophistry" to mean similar things. Chinese would use words like 道理 [reason] or 理性 [rationality].
