Deem to be deliberate (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

consider

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'deem to be' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'deliberate' is the second definition.
('consider' can be a synonym of 'deliberate')

(Other definitions for consider that I've seen before include "Take into account" , "Hold" , "Suppose" , "Think about, reflect upon" , "Contemplate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
