Morphology
dislogistic = logistic (opaque) = dis + logist + ic
Although formed from a negative prefix and a recognizable adjective, the modern base 'logistic' does not convey 'speaking ill' or 'disparagement', so the meaning 'expressing disapproval' is not transparently derivable.
Etymology
Dislogistic comes from Greek parts dys- ('bad') and logos ('word' or 'speech'), the same root you see in eulogy. So it is like 'speaking badly', which is why dislogistic describes language that shows disapproval or is derogatory.
