Etymology
The term 'cogitate' originates from the Latin word 'cogitare', which means 'to think'. The Latin root 'cogit-' is derived from 'cogitare', which is a combination of 'co-' (together) and 'agere' (to drive or do), suggesting a thorough or cooperative form of thinking. The word entered English in the 15th century and has since been used to describe the process of thoughtful deliberation. Its usage has remained relatively stable over the centuries, often associated with deep thought or contemplation, particularly in philosophical contexts. In modern English, 'cogitating' is still used to convey the idea of intense and focused thinking.
