reconsiderar

/rekonsideˈɾaɾ/ · B2 · verb

to reconsider (to consider a decided matter again)

🤔 re- (again) + considerar (consider) = think it over a second time

Spanish reconsiderar is built from re- meaning again and considerar meaning to consider. Considerar traces to Latin considerare, tied to sidus, star, from studying the stars before a decision. So reconsiderar is to weigh a settled choice once more.
