the.com/rationale
The reason you give after the decision you already made emotionally.
means A stated set of reasons meant to justify a decision, belief, or action.
from From Latin 'rationalis' ('of reason'), rooted in 'ratio' meaning reckoning, calculation, or reason. The word entered English in the 1600s as a term for a systematic explanation or exposition — originally more like a reasoned account of something's workings, before narrowing toward its modern sense of 'the justification behind a choice.'
