considerateness

/kənˈsɪdərətnɪs/ noun

The characteristic of being considerate.

Word Origin From Latin 'considerare', which originally meant to observe the stars (sidus) for omens. Over time, it came to mean thoughtful examination. 'Considerate' means thoughtful of others, and -ness makes it a noun. So considerateness is the quality of being thoughtful, literally star-gazing turned into careful attention. Related: consider, consideration, reconsider (think again). The breakdown consider+ate+ness shows the root consider, adjective suffix -ate, and noun suffix -ness. The idea: from astrology to empathy.
