considerar

/konsideˈɾaɾ/ · A2 · verb

to consider, to regard, to see, to look, to view

⭐ considerar = English consider; Latin con + sidus (star): to study the stars

A near-perfect cognate of English consider, with the regular -ar verb ending. Both come from Latin considerare, built on sidus/sideris (star), the same root as sidereal: originally to examine the stars closely, then to weigh something carefully.
