considerably

/kənˈsɪdɝəbɫi/ adv B1, B2

by a large amount

Word Origin Considerably comes from consider, which originally meant 'to observe the stars' — from Latin con- 'together' and sidus 'star'. Ancient astrologers would study the stars to make decisions, so consider came to mean 'examine carefully'. Considerably then means 'to a degree worth careful notice'.
