Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'consideratio', stemming from 'considerare' (to look closely at, inspect, originally meaning to observe the stars, from 'sidus', star). It entered Middle English via Old French in the 14th century, initially retaining senses of astrological observation before shifting to mental contemplation and attentive thought.
