    Just found that according to CALD "(to) think sth. up" exists but in the meaning of "(to) produce a new idea or plan", i.e.: I do not want to go tonight but I cannot think up a good excuse.

    I would like to use it in an essay for university so it should be fairly formal...

    Thanks in advance!

    evtl.: to conceive an idea; or maybe a bit further in the process: to explore an idea

    Maybe it is more in the sense of starting to think about something, and in my case, terminating the attempt because it became clear that it is not correct.
    It has the purpose to clarify to the reader that you have actually considered the idea but found it is not helpful.

    I think you just gave yourself your own answer: you can consider an idea, you can even explore it a bit before you discard.

    Eine Idee kann man nicht andenken, sondern allenfalls Maßnahmen, denn das "Andenken" selbst ist ja nichts anderes als eine "Idee".

    Bravo #6

    In meiner Welt ist "andenken" umgangssprachlich

    etwas weiter unten wird in einer Diplomarbeit etwas "angearbeitet"

    Auch so grausam.
