Origin

Late Middle English: from Old French considerer, from Latin considerare 'examine', perhaps based on sidus, sider- 'star'.

You used to consider with your eyes rather than your brain. Latin considerare meant ‘to observe or examine something’, but had an earlier meaning ‘to observe the stars’ and was based on sidus ‘a star or constellation’. The earliest meaning of consider was ‘to look at something very carefully’, but this soon widened to the notion of thinking carefully about something.
