means The mental faculty by which information and past experiences are stored, retained, and recalled.
from From Latin memoria, "remembrance," built on memor, "mindful, remembering." This in turn traces back to a Proto-Indo-European root *(s)mer-, meaning to remember or be anxious about — a cousin of words for care and mourning, hinting that the things we remember are often the things we couldn't let go. It reached English through Old French memorie in the medieval period, and shares deep roots with "memorial," "commemorate," and the Roman goddess Memoria herself.
