carefully planned
Etymology
'deliberately' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'deliberatus,' where 'de-' meant 'down' and 'liberare' meant 'to weigh.' 'Considered' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'considerare,' where 'con-' meant 'with' and 'siderare' meant 'to examine.'
'deliberatus' transformed into the Old French word 'deliberer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'deliberate.' 'Considerare' transformed into the Old French word 'considerer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'consider.'
Initially, 'deliberate' meant 'to weigh down,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'carefully thought out.' 'Consider' initially meant 'to examine,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
