The word syllogism is used as a noun and most of the times the word is used in the technical terminology. The meaning the word describes is that of a way of arguing in which two statements are used to prove that a third statement is true. A sentence, that can provide a context, is indispensable if you want to know how a word can be used. Keeping this very thought in mind, given below a sentence that can make you understand the word well: All human beings are mortal; I am a human being; so I am a mortal. In the above mentioned sentence the first two statements are proving that the third statement is true.

The adjective that can be used for this word is 'syllogistic' and one of the aspects that should always kept in mind is that this adjective should always be used before noun.
