thinking something out carefully as to achieve complete comprehension of it; conception, invention; Excogitation means 'the act of thinking or studying intensely', and hence 'the result of thinking; a contrivance'." Excogitation is from excogitate 'to think out; devise; study intensely', derived ultimately from Latin excogitare. It is first found in English in the early sixteenth century.
