An archaic or rare verb meaning to work out in detail or to develop something through effort and thought.
From Latin 'elaborare' combining 'e-' (out) and 'laborare' (to work), literally meaning 'to work out thoroughly'. This is an older form of the more common 'elaborate'.
This word is basically the root that spawned our modern word 'elaborate,' but it's so old it rarely appears in English anymore—it's like finding the great-great-grandparent of a familiar word.
