Morphology

logical + diagram

The meaning of 'logical diagram' is directly derivable from 'logical' (relating to reasoning or formal logic) + 'diagram' (a drawing showing parts/relations); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it is a diagram that represents logical structure or relationships. This is a regular noun+adjective compositional pattern found across languages, so the expression is immediately comprehensible from its parts.

Etymology

Logical diagram comes from the simple image of a diagram — boxes, arrows and symbols — that shows the logical steps or rules inside a system. So, it means 'a drawing that shows how a program or system works and makes decisions'.
