Remembers

/rɪˈmembərz/ verb

Definition

Third person singular present of remember, meaning to recall information, experiences, or people from the past. It involves the mental process of retrieving stored memories.

Etymology

From Old French remembrer, from Late Latin rememorari, from Latin re- 'again' + memorari 'be mindful of,' from memor 'mindful.' The word literally means 'to bring to mind again.'

Kelly Says

Your brain doesn't actually store memories like files on a computer - instead, it reconstructs them each time you remember, which is why memories can change slightly over time. The act of remembering can actually alter the memory itself, a process called reconsolidation.
