考え出す
解説 Definition
案・計画・解決策などを、考えて作り出すことを表します。ふと思いつくよりも、目的に合う答えを頭の中で組み立てて形にする場面で使われます。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
think は「考える」、out は「外へ出す」感覚です。頭の中にある考えを外に出せる形にする、と考えると「案や方法を考え出す」と覚えやすくなります。think out a plan / solution / idea のように、計画・解決策・アイデアと結びつきます。think over は「検討する」、think through は「筋道を追って考える」で、think out は結果として案を作る点に注目します。
Think of think as "use your mind" and out as "bring outside." So think out means to take an idea from inside your head and turn it into something clear and usable. This is why it often appears with words like plan, solution, and idea. Unlike think over, which means to consider, or think through, which means to follow the steps carefully, think out focuses on creating the final idea.

考え抜く
(意味 2)解説 Definition
問題や計画をじっくりと考え抜き、筋道を立てて検討すること。
To think out something means to consider it carefully and fully before deciding or acting. It is used when someone takes time to examine details, problems, or possible results. It often suggests slow, serious thinking rather than a quick idea.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
この意味では、think out は単にアイデアを出すのではなく、問題・計画・答えを最後まで丁寧に検討する感覚です。out には「すっかり、最後まで」の働きがあり、考えを途中で止めずに細部まで詰めるイメージになります。基本義の「考え出す」とは別に、think out the details / response / route のように、内容を吟味して固める用法として覚えると区別しやすいです。
`Out` often adds the feeling of finishing something fully. So `think out` is not just thinking, but thinking until the idea comes out clearly. Remember it with phrases like `think out a plan` or `think out a response`.

think out の語源・成り立ち Etymology
think は古英語 thencan「考える」に由来します。out は「外へ」の意味を加え、頭の中の考えを具体的な案として外に出すイメージです。
Think comes from Old English thencan, meaning "to think." The particle out adds the idea of bringing something outward. Together, think out suggests forming an idea in the mind and bringing it out as a clear plan or solution.
