[Derived terms]

[Etymology 1]
edit Original image of a logistic curve, contrasted with a logarithmic curve.From French logistique, from Ancient Greek λογιστικός (logistikós, “practiced in arithmetic; rational”), from λογίζομαι (logízomai, “I reason, I calculate”), from λόγος (lógos, “reason, computation”), whence English logos, logic, logarithm, etc.; modern mathematical use influenced by related logarithmic.Sense of “logistic function” by Pierre François Verhulst (1845) in French, then borrowed into English.[1] Verhulst does not explain his choice of naming, but he contrasts it with the logarithmic curve (also from λόγος (lógos)), and it is presumably by analogy with arithmetic and geometric (other divisions of mathematics), as his discussion of arithmetic growth and geometric growth precede his discussion of logistic growth.[2]The term logistic and logistical also found occasional mathematical use in English prior to 1800, from the same Greek origin.
[Etymology 2]

[Etymology]

[Noun]
editoutput (countable and uncountable, plural outputs)
1.That which is produced by something, especially that which is produced within a particular time period or from a particular effort.
1.(economics) Production; quantity produced, created, or completed.
2.1956, Yuan-li Wu, An Economic Survey of Communist China[1], New York: Bookman Associates, OCLC 422072463, page 284:
Output at the Pen-ch'i mine, which produced somewhat under 1 million tons annually during 1942-1944, was around 500,000 tons in 1949.
3.2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8847:
Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid and unique to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month.
The factory increased its output this year.
4.(computing) Data sent out of the computer, as to output device such as a monitor or printer, or data sent from one program on the computer to another.
a six-page output; six pages of output
5.(medicine) The flow rate of body liquids such as blood and urine.
