reconsidera

Reconsidera is primarily a conjugated verb form in Romance languages, most commonly Spanish and Portuguese. In Spanish, reconsidera is the present indicative form for él/ella/usted of the verb reconsiderar, and it is also the affirmative tú imperative meaning “reconsider.” In Portuguese, reconsidera is the third-person singular present indicative of reconsiderar, and it can appear as the informal tú/you imperative form in some dialects, also meaning “reconsider.” The same spelling can appear in both languages, with the exact meaning determined by its syntactic context.

Etymology and cognates: the form stems from the prefix re- meaning “again” plus the verb consider/considerar, which in turn comes from Latin considerare. The Italian cognate is riconsiderare, with forms such as riconsidera for lui/lei and the tu imperative riconsidera.

Usage and meaning: in ordinary prose, reconsidera denotes the act of reviewing or re-evaluating a decision. Examples include Spanish phrases like “La decisión fue tomada; se reconsidera” or Portuguese equivalents such as “A decisão pode ser reconsiderada.” In legal, administrative, or organizational contexts, it often signals a review, appeal, or reexamination of a ruling or policy.

As a potential proper noun, Reconsidera is not widely documented as a major organization or product name in mainstream reference works; when capitalized, it may appear as a brand, project title, or localized entity in niche contexts.

Related terms include reconsideración in Spanish, reconsideração in Portuguese, and the English noun reconsideration. The verb forms linked to reconsidera reflect its role as a grammatical instrument for signaling review or reversal of decisions.
