L’ancêtre latin

PĒNSĀRE‘to weigh (out); to ponder’

L’histoire

PĒNSĀRE split in two: the old spoken branch lost its n (pesar, peser, pesare 'to weigh'), and a more bookish one kept it (pensar, penser, pensare 'to think'). Thinking is weighing things up.

Parents anglais: pensive, poise, pansy

La famille latine

PEND-, PENS-· hang, weigh

PENSĀRE 'to weigh' already lost its n in spoken Latin (NS → S, as in MĒNSA → mesa), giving the inherited pesar, peser, pesare 'to weigh'. The Church and the schools kept the full form for 'weighing things in the mind', and pensar, penser, pensare 'to think' are that learned branch. French even has a third doublet: panser 'to dress (a wound)', originally just a spelling of penser 'to take care of'. Portuguese and Catalan keep both doublets (pesar beside pensar). Romanian kept only the worn-down one, as păsa 'to matter' (nu-mi pasă 'I don't care'), and thinks with gândi, a Hungarian loan.
