Large or noticeable in amount, size, or importance.
From "consider" + *-able*, originally meaning "worthy of consideration." Over time it shifted to mean something big enough that you must pay attention to it.
Originally, something considerable was worth thinking about, not just big. That’s a nice reminder: size doesn’t matter unless it changes what you need to consider.
