Making someone remember or think about something they might have forgotten.
From 'remind,' combining 're-' (again) and 'mind' (to remember), literally meaning 'to put back in mind'—used since the 1600s.
Humans forget things constantly, so we invented calendars, notes, and now phone notifications—but studies show that external reminders actually make our natural memory worse because we rely on them instead of remembering ourselves.
