Etymology
Memorie entered Romanian in the nineteenth century as part of a wave of French and Latin borrowings that modernized the language's vocabulary. It traces to Latin memoria, itself built from memor, meaning mindful or remembering. The underlying root goes back to a Proto-Indo-European base for remembering and caring, which also produced English words in the same family.
