Morphology
The meaning 'considered or being thought about' is directly derivable from 'in' (indicating location) + 'mind' (the place of thoughts), so the phrase literally denotes something being inside one’s thoughts or plans. This compositional, locative metaphor is common across languages and follows a basic spatial-to-mental mapping, making it readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
In mind comes from a simple image: think of putting an idea like a small object in your mind to keep it there and not forget it. That's why it means 'being thought about' or kept for a plan.
