Cogitation - a podcast by Word of the Day

Cogitation is a noun that refers to the action of thinking deeply about something.

The Latin word cogitare (KOE gee tar ay) means ‘to think’ and has given birth to a number of related English words like recognize, cognizant and cogitate, a verb that means ‘to think deeply.’ Our word of the day is a noun that is derived from cogitate.
