Etymology: "Reconsiderer" is a plain formation: the verb "reconsider" with the agent suffix "-er" attached, giving a word for someone who reconsiders. The base verb is itself built from the prefix "re-", meaning again, and "consider," which comes from Latin "considerare," originally a term connected with observing the stars and weighing what one sees before deciding. The suffix "-er" has been used since Old English to turn verbs into nouns for the person or thing doing the action, so "reconsiderer" follows the same pattern as "reader" or "reviewer."
