You can hold examination as the act of leaning in and looking something over closely—turning it this way and that, weighing what it really is before you judge it.
From the word’s history
From Latin examen, the tongue of a balance, and examinare "to weigh": to examine is to weigh a thing carefully in order to judge it. Every sense below is that same careful looking-over.
字根 examen 是天平上的指針，examinare 是「秤重」；examination 就是把一樣東西仔細掂量、看清楚再下判斷。以下每個用法都是同一種「仔細檢視」。
