Etymology
Remember is a word that has been around for a very long time! It comes from two older words:
Re-: This part means "again" or "back."
Member: This part used to mean "part of a whole" or "someone who belongs to a group."
So, when you put these two parts together, "remember" means to "call something back to mind" or "think of something again."
The first known use of "remember" in English was around the year 1300. It was used in a similar way to how we use it today, to mean "to keep something in mind."
