To withdraw or reverse a previous consideration; to stop considering something seriously.
From prefix 'de-' (to reverse) + 'consider' (from Latin 'considerare', meaning to observe or think about). A rare term that combines the reversal prefix with the thinking verb.
While 'deconsider' is rarely used in modern English, it appeared in philosophical texts where thinkers needed a verb to express the deliberate act of removing something from serious contemplation—the opposite of deliberation.
