No you are mistaken. Do you ever remember studing about root words in english class? There is no redifining i am doing if i find the root of the word and use that context to understanding what is being said. Afterall what do you think came first? ration rational or irrational the answer is clear that all forms of the word stem from the root of the word. Behind that root word is a sound that is beyond all words or definitions.

Greek Philosopher Plato – Logos
Logos is the Greek term meaning “the Word.” Greek philosophers like Plato used Logos not only of the spoken word but also of the unspoken word, the word still in the mind -- the reason. When applied to the universe, Greeks were speaking to the rational principle that governs all things.
A Greek philosopher named Heraclitus first used the term Logos around 600 BC to designate the divine reason or plan which coordinates the entire universe. Monotheistic Jews used Logos to refer to God, since He was the rational mind -- reason -- behind the creation and coordination of the universe. - See more at: www.allaboutphilosophy.org...
The Greek, metaphysical concept of the Logos is in sharp contrast to the concept of a personal God described in anthropomorphic terms typical of Hebrew thought. Philo made a synthesis of the two systems and attempted to explain Hebrew thought in terms of Greek philosophy by introducing the Stoic concept of the Logos into Judaism. In the process the Logos became transformed from a metaphysical entity into an extension of a divine and transcendental anthropomorphic being and mediator between God and men. Philo offered various descriptions of the Logos.
a. The Utterance of God
Following the Jewish mythical tradition, Philo represents the Logos as the utterance of God found in the Jewish scripture of the Old Testament since God's words do not differ from his actions

John 1:1 is a plagiarization of Philo's LOGOS.
