deliberate
의미: Done consciously and intentionally rather than by accident; also, careful and unhurried in action or speech. As a verb (stressed on the final syllable), to think about or discuss something carefully before reaching a decision.
Deliberate has two adjectival senses and a verbal one. As an adjective meaning 'intentional,' it is close to 'calculated' but less cynical: 'a deliberate choice' implies considered judgement, not manipulation. As an adjective meaning 'unhurried,' it describes someone who acts with measured care: 'a deliberate pace,' 'deliberate movements.' As a verb, it means to weigh up evidence or arguments, often in a formal setting: a jury deliberates, a committee deliberates. It collocates with 'deliberate attempt,' 'deliberate pace,' 'deliberate decision,' and 'deliberately misleading.'
