Words to the Wise: Mull Over

To mull over — possibly from the Middle English for “to crumble” — is to carefully consider. 

Example (as used by John Wood today): “[Merv] Griffin was mulling over game show ideas when his wife noted that there had been no successful ‘question and answer’ shows since the quiz show scandals.”
