Etymology
The word logarithmic comes from Greek parts logos 'ratio' and arithmos 'number', the same roots you see in logic and arithmetic. So a logarithmic scale or function shows numbers by their 'ratios', or how many times bigger they are, which is why it is used to describe fast growth or very large ranges.
