studied
Examined with care
Studied describes something done with deliberate effort or careful consideration.
A studied response is carefully thought through rather than spontaneous.
A studied pose or indifference suggests deliberate artifice—the appearance of casualness that actually required effort.
The word often implies calculation or even insincerity: Her studied nonchalance fooled no one.
