Morphology
The meaning of 'sound logic' is directly compositional: 'sound' (well-grounded, reliable) modifies 'logic' (reasoning), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer 'valid, well-founded reasoning.' This follows a standard adjective+noun pattern found across languages and uses frequent, transparent vocabulary.
Etymology
The phrase sound logic comes from the older sense of sound meaning 'solid' or 'healthy', joined with logic for careful thinking. So sound logic gives the image of thinking that is strong and not broken, which is why it means 'reasoning that is reliable' today.
