I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'consider' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for muse that I've seen before include "Contemplation" , "Ponder, say meditatively" , "Goddess; rock group" , "Source of inspiration; rock group" , "Think - goddess of the liberal arts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
