higa
Formal HebrewMeaningTo think of a new idea or plan.
HistoryThe root ה.ג.ה appears in the Bible. It often means to make a low sound, like a cooing dove or a growling lion, or to speak quietly to oneself. From this idea of quiet thinking or speaking, we get the modern meaning of thinking up a new idea.
Example
הוא הגה רעיון חדש לעסק.
He thought of a new idea for a business.
