memoriousadj.

Brit.

/mᵻˈmɔːrɪəs/, U.S.

/məˈmɔriəs/

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from Spanish. Probably partly a borrowing from Italian. Probably partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin memoriosus; Spanish memorioso; Italian memorioso; French memorieux.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin memoriosus having a good memory (3rd cent., and from 4th cent. in grammarians, some of whom may preserve readings from classical Latin; < classical Latin memoria memory n. + -ōsus -ous suffix), probably partly via Italian memorioso (Florio, 1598; although the word does not occur in the passage translated in quot. 1599 at sense 1) and Middle French memorieux having a good memory (Montaigne: see quot. 1603 at sense 1). In sense 1 later reborrowed < Spanish memorioso (see quot. 1962 at sense 1).Noted by N.E.D. (1906) as ‘Obs. or arch. rare.’.

Now rare. Chiefly literary in later use.

1. Having a good memory; †mindful of (obsolete).
