Etymology
The word considerateness comes from consider, which in Latin was made from con- ('with') and sidus ('star') and once meant 'to look at the stars'. So to be considerate or to show considerateness is like looking carefully at someone and thinking about their needs and feelings, which is why it means being thoughtful and kind.
