  1. Of or pertaining to a syllogism.

    Ganymede was once a girlishly handsome precocious youth. That one cannot for any considerable number of years go on being youthful, girlishly handsome, and precocious, seems on consideration to be a statement as worthy of credit as the famous syllogistic conclusion, "Socrates was mortal."

    1879, George Eliot, chapter 12, in Impressions of Theophrastus Such

Origin

From syllog(ism) + -istic.
