Objects or items kept as reminders of a person, place, or event you've experienced.
From French 'souvenir' meaning 'to remember,' derived from Latin 'subvenire' (sub- 'under' + venire 'to come'). The word literally means something that 'comes back' to memory.
There's something poetic about how this word literally means 'it comes to memory'—souvenirs work like physical time machines, instantly transporting you back to a moment just by touching them!
