Origin

The phrase 深思熟慮 is composed of four characters: 深, 思, 熟, and 慮. The character 深 means deep and contains the semantic component 水 (water) and the phonetic component 𥥍 (chimney of kitchen range). The character 思 means to think or cogitate, formed with the semantic component 心 (heart) and the phonetic component 囟 (fontanelle).

The character 熟 means ripe, incorporating the semantic component 火 (fire) and the phonetic component 孰 (the original form of 熟). Finally, 慮 means to be concerned or worry about, which includes the semantic component 思 (to think) and the phonetic component 虍 (pattern of tiger fur).
