recordar

/rekoɾˈdaɾ/ · A1 · verb

to remember, to recollect

❤️ re + cor (Latin heart): pass it back through the heart = remember

From Latin recordari: re- (again) + cor, cordis (heart), once thought the seat of memory. English record and learn by heart share the same root. Cognate hint: recordar looks like record, a thing kept so you remember.
