Origen e historia
From Latin 'considerare' meaning 'to look at closely, to observe', possibly originally an astrological term from 'con-' (with) + 'sidus' (star, constellation). If so, the original sense was 'to observe the stars carefully' for guidance — to contemplate the heavens before making a decision.
