Etymology
1. 1375, from O.Fr.
considerer, from L.
considerare "to look at closely, observe," lit. "to observe the stars," from
com- "with" +
sidus (gen.
sideris) "constellation." Perhaps a metaphor from navigation, but more likely reflecting Roman obsession with divination by astrology. Tucker doubts the connection with
sidus, however, since it is "quite inapplicable to
desiderare," and suggests derivation instead from the root of Eng.
side meaning "stretch, extend," and a sense for the full word of "survey on all sides" or "dwell long upon."
Considerable "pretty large" is from 1651;
considerate "thoughtful of others" is from 1700.
2. From Middle English consideren, from Middle French considerer, from Latin considerare. See: Middle English '
consideren', Middle French '
considerer', Latin '
considero'.
