considerations
- 1Plural of consideration.
The committee balanced financial and ethical considerations before reaching a decision.
Several practical considerations shaped how the project was finally designed.
Note
The plural usually carries the singular's "reason or ground" meaning: considerations are the separate factors weighed before a decision. An adjective often names their kind, as in financial, ethical or practical considerations. Every sense of consideration can be countable or uncountable. Still, the plural feels most at home in formal, analytical prose that sets several distinct factors side by side.
