Word origin

The word "remind" originated from the Middle English word "remembren," which in turn came from the Old French word "remembrer." The prefix "re-" means again, and "membren" comes from the Latin "membrum," meaning part or member. The concept of reminding someone has been essential throughout history, as humans have always needed ways to remember important information and events.
