'remember' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'rememorari,' where 're-' meant 'again' and 'memorari' meant 'to be mindful.'

'rememorari' transformed into the Old French word 'remembrer,' and eventually became the modern English word 'remember' through Middle English.

Initially, it meant 'to be mindful again,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'to recall or bring to mind.'
