mementon.

Brit.

/mᵻˈmɛntəʊ/, U.S.

/məˈmɛnˌtoʊ/,

/məˈmɛn(t)oʊ/

Inflections: Plural mementoes, mementos.

Forms: see also momento n.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin memento.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin memento (from 1340 in British sources in sense 1a, reinterpreted as the ablative of a noun: compare -mentum -ment suffix) < classical Latin mementō , imperative of meminisse to remember, a reduplicated formation ultimately < the Indo-European base of mens mind (see i-mind n.). Compare Middle French memento (c1375 in sense ‘memory’, 1377 in sense 1a; French mémento , memento ). Compare also momento n.
