Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in English from the adjective 'deliberate' plus the suffix '-ness'. 'Deliberate' derives from Latin 'deliberatus', the past participle of 'deliberare' (to weigh well in one's mind), from 'de-' (entirely) and 'librare' (to balance or weigh), related to 'libra' (a pair of scales).
