Meaning & History
Late Middle English from Old French considerer, from Latin considerare ‘examine’, perhaps based on sidus, sider- ‘star’. Possibly referring to Hebrews 10:24, "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works" or Matthew 6:28, "And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin."
