IMHO, this is entry is a bit misguiding,
because the primary meaning of gond is
"thought". Because of the usage, i.e.
because the fact that in many cases the
derivate gondolat is used for thought,
they put the entry this way.

But if we ask the dictionary for "thought,
Gedanke" + "think, denken", then most of
the translations contain the basic <gond>,
to which various suffixes and/or prefixes
are attached (in accordance with semantic
connotations).
