I think it is often mistaken to refer to Logic or Reason, but only because the two are so intimately associated. That, and it isn't always clear where one ends and the other begins.
It would be more useful to have a word like "Rea-gic", that carries both meanings at the same time...? 🤔
"Logic" is used to carry many different, but associated, meanings. Its formal meaning usually refers to the discipline that allows us to examine an argument, and conclude that its structure is such that it can deliver a deduced and reliable conclusion when provided with sound premises.
In everyday usage, we often say "logic" when we are actually referring to Reason. I blame Mr Spock for that... 😐
