rememberv.1 Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French remembrer. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman remembrier, remembrir, remenbrer, Anglo-Norman and Middle French remembrer (French (now regional) remembrer ) to keep in mind, recollect (a person or thing) (c1000 in Old French as remembrar : see below), to cause a person to think about or recall (a thing or person) (c1100 in Old French, earliest with direct and indirect object in remembrer à ), to bear (a person or thing) in mind, to be mindful (of a person or thing) (second half of the 12th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), to recall or call to mind (a thing, event, or person) (second half of the 12th cent.), to record, mention (a thing) (1323 or earlier in Anglo-Norman) < post-classical Latin rememorari to remember (Vetus Latina, Vulgate), also rememorare to call to mind, to remember (4th cent.), to speak or remind of, repeat (from 8th cent. in British sources), to record (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources) < classical Latin re- re- prefix + memor mindful (see memory n.). Compare later rememorate v.Old French remembrer is attested earlier as remembrar (c1000, in a text apparently showing Occitan influence); compare Old Occitan remembrar (12th cent.). French remembrer was superseded in the standard language in the senses ‘to recall’ and ‘to remind, cause to recall’ by rappeler repeal v.1, and in the sense ‘to retain in or recall to the memory, to recollect’ by souvenir (see souvenir n.). Compare Catalan remembrar (14th cent.), Spanish remembrar (beginning of the 13th cent.), Italian rimembrare (beginning of the 13th cent. as remembrare ; now literary or poetical). Portuguese has two parallel verbs: †remembrar (14th cent. as †renembrar ) shows the regular vernacular development of post-classical Latin rememorare , while the now usual synonym relembrar (15th cent.) was formed from re- re- prefix + lembrar to remember (14th cent.; 13th cent. as †menbrar ; ultimately < classical Latin memorāre memorate v., with two successive stages of dissimilation of consonants). In (it) remembers me at sense 3 after corresponding impersonal use of Anglo-Norman and Middle French remembrer (early 12th cent. in Anglo-Norman); with it remembers me of (see sense 3a(b)) compare Anglo-Norman and Middle French il me remembre de (early 12th cent. in Anglo-Norman). The β. forms show assimilation, and in cases with single medial -m- simplification, of the consonant cluster -mb- , partly as alteration after post-classical Latin rememorari, rememorari. Compare rememorable adj., rememorance n., rememorate v., etc. I. Senses in which the idea of an external stimulus to memory or thought is weak. * Reflexive, passive, and impersonal constructions mainly corresponding to senses in branch I.** 1.
