Morphology
dyslogistic = dyslogy (semi-transparent) = dys + log + istic
Formed from Greek combining elements dys- (bad) + log- (speech) + -istic; the meaning 'expressing disapproval' follows the morphemes but the Greek combining forms may not be familiar to average learners.
Etymology
The word dyslogistic comes from Greek parts dys- meaning 'bad' and logos meaning 'word' or 'speech', the same root you find in dialogue and logic. So a dyslogistic remark is like 'bad-speaking' — negative or disapproving language.
