Syntaxiom

considerately

/kənˈsɪdɝətli/ adv

In a considerate manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'sidus' — star or constellation — with 'con-' together. To consider originally meant to observe the stars carefully, to contemplate. 'Considerately' means in a thoughtful, careful manner. The root 'sidus' gives us 'consider', 'consideration', 'considerable', 'inconsiderate', 'reconsider', and even 'desire' (from 'de-' + 'sidus', originally to await the stars, to long for). The PIE root *seh₂i- meant to bind or tie, which led to the idea of constellations as bound groups of stars.
