Showing consideration or maybe just giving it (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thoughtful

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

'maybe just giving it' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'showing consideration' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'consideration' could be 'thought' (I've seen this before) and 'thought' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'or' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for thoughtful that I've seen before include "Caring" , "Considerate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
