検討

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 検討 is read as けんとう and functions as a noun or with する for examining options or a plan from several angles before deciding.
• Basic usage: Mark the matter reviewed with を, and add 再 in 再検討する when considering it again.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• Review and decision
  • Reviewing several proposals may lead to choosing one, but 検討 names the evaluative process rather than the final choice.
• Initial and renewed review
  • 再検討 revisits an existing plan, here with cost included, so its timing differs from a first examination.
