Etymology
The verb a aminti was formed within Romanian from the noun minte, meaning mind, with the prefix a- and the verbal suffix -i. Minte descends from Latin mens, mentis, mind or reason. The present-tense form amintește adds the -ește ending typical of Romanian verbs in the -i inchoative class, the same pattern seen in a citi, citește.
