Idea showing consideration (7)

I believe the answer is:

thought

I believe this is a double definition.

'idea' is the first definition.
(I know that idea can be written as thought)

'showing consideration' is the second definition.
(being thoughtful)

(Other definitions for thought that I've seen before include "Idea, concept" , "Considered, believed" , "Meditation" , "Notion" , "Study" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
