Usage: The Greek verb ἐνθυμέομαι (enthumeomai) is used to describe the act of pondering or considering something deeply. It involves an internal process of reflection or deliberation, often with an emotional or passionate component. This term suggests a thoughtful engagement with an idea or situation, going beyond superficial consideration to a more profound contemplation.
