Morphology

fuzzy + logic

The compound is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: 'fuzzy' (unclear/imprecise) modifies 'logic', so a learner can infer it refers to a type of logic dealing with imprecise or vague truth. The precise mathematical detail (truth values between 0 and 1) is technical, but the basic concept is directly derivable and commonly expressed similarly in other languages, making it understandable to B1 learners who know both words.

Etymology

Fuzzy logic comes from the image of the word fuzzy, meaning not clear, and logic, meaning thinking. So, instead of only 'true' or only 'false', fuzzy logic lets truth be partly true, and that helps systems deal with unclear or mixed information.
