Word Origin
- remind
- remind: [17] Remind is an English coinage. It was formed, apparently in the 1640s, from the prefix re- and the verb mind, in the sense ‘remember’ (now restricted to Scottish English). It may have been modelled on the now obsolete rememorate, which came from the same Latin source as English remember. It was originally used for ‘remember’, but the modern sense ‘cause to remember’ emerged as early as the 1660s.
- remind (v.)
- 1640s, "to remember," from re- "again" + mind (v.). Meaning "to put (someone) in mind of (something)" is first recorded 1650s. Related: Reminded; reminding.
