What does the origin of pensive have to do with the contemporary meaning?
The root would likely be "pense," which means to pay over or give someone or something its fair value, as in the English words, compensate - to pay what is justly due, and recompense - to repay for harm done. Further, we see it slightly changed in the British "Pence," a monetary unit, which is, of course, used to pay for things. So pensive, meaning now deep in thought, would have had basically the same meaning at its origin as it does now, just phrased differently - to pay full attention to some matter, in this case with one's mind.
