consider late 14c., from O.Fr. considerer (13c.) "reflect on, consider, study," from L. considerare "to look at closely, observe," perhaps lit. "to observe the stars," from com-"with" (see com-) + sidus (gen. sideris) "constellation" (see sidereal). 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 PIE root of English side meaning "stretch, extend," and a sense for the full word of "survey on all sides" or "dwell long upon." Related: Considered; considering.
