Word Origin
- remember
- remember: [14] Latin memor meant ‘mindful’ (it gave English memorial, memory, etc, and went back ultimately to the Indo-European base *men-, *mon- ‘think’, source of a wide range of English vocabulary from comment to mind). From it in the post-classical period was formed the verb rememorārī ‘recall to mind’, which passed into English via Old French remembrer.=> comment, mental, mind
- remember (v.)
- early 14c., "keep in mind, retain in the memory," from Old French remembrer "remember, recall, bring to mind" (11c.), from Latin rememorari "recall to mind, remember," from re- "again" (see re-) + memorari "be mindful of," from memor "mindful" (see memory). Meaning "recall to mind" is late 14c.; sense of "to mention" is from 1550s. Also in Middle English "to remind" (someone). An Anglo-Saxon verb for it was gemunan.
