What it means
A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.
AI Summary
λογίζομαι means, in its basic sense, to count or calculate numerically, as in reckoning up a sum, an amount, or an interest payment 123. It can also carry the more technical sense of setting an amount down to someone's account, or auditing accounts 3.
More often the word is used without reference to actual numbers, meaning to take into account, consider, weigh up, or reckon something to be true, and by extension to suppose, judge, conclude, or decide 1234. In this range it covers reasoning something out to a conclusion, forming a judgment about a person or situation, imputing or crediting something to someone, and coming to a decision or purpose about a course of action 123.
