Etymology

Cognate with Middle English: cogitacioun

Cognate with English: cogitation

In summary

Latinate learned borrowing from Medieval Latin cogitātiōnem (“act of pondering; reflection”), supplanting or reshaping variant forms from Middle French cogitatiun, Old French cogitaciun, cogitacion, from Vulgar Latin cōgitātiōnem; compare Middle English cogitacioun, English cogitation. Ultimately from Latin cōgitō (“to turn over in the mind; think, consider, ponder, meditate”) from con- (“together, with”) + agitō (“to put in constant motion, drive at something; devise, plot, contrive”), verbal root from Proto-Italic *agō (“to drive, impel”) from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eǵ-.
