Consider is a verb that simply means to think about, look
at, or judge. Consider, for a moment, the perks of house
sitting for your pool-owning neighbors before you
immediately refuse their request.
Coming to us from the Latin word considerare, meaning “to look at closely" or "observe,” consider is a very common word that describes something you likely do multiple times a day: You probably consider what to wear in the morning, weigh your options for lunch, take into account the weather when deciding to grab your umbrella. Your life is full of consideration and you didn't even know it!
Primary Meanings ofconsider
1.v think about carefully; weigh
2.v regard or treat with consideration, respect,
and esteem minute
Craftsmen can paint whole villages or detailed portraits of
people on a grain of rice using minute, or tiny,
paintbrushes. Often the works of art are so minute that you
can only see them with a magnifying glass.
Minutus is the Latin word for "small," and it gave rise to both the adjective minute (my-NOOT), or incredibly small, and the noun minute (MIN-it), or 60 seconds of time. Though they are pronounced differently, both words refer to small measurements. An object can be minute, like a flea compared with its dog, and less concrete things can be minute, like your minute chance of winning the lottery. A minute freckle on the side of your nose is a minute detail of your whole face. Primary Meanings ofminute

An accord is an agreement between groups or even nations,
like a formal peace accord that prevents war or
the accord between you and your sister specifying who gets
to use the car on which days.
Accord is an agreeable word. If you and your best friend are always in accord, you agree about everything. And if you do something of your own accord, you do it without prompting from someone else. As a verb, accord means to be in harmony or agreement, or to allow. Perhaps your enhanced vocabulary will accord you, or allow you, a better understanding of language. Primary Meanings of accord

The adjective utter is often used as an intensifier to mean
"total" — often with negative connotations (like
"utter failure"). As a verb, the word has a totally unrelated
meaning: to speak or to articulate a sound.
If you utter something, you give it voice. You could utter a cry or utter complete sentences; either way, you are expressing yourself. However, if you declare someone an utter moron, you are saying he is a complete and total moron; not that he is a moron expressing himself. Don't confuse the spelling of utter with udder — the latter is the part of the cow that you milk.
