英文詞源
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.
