Etymology
The word "ricordare" comes from the Latin verb "recordari," which means to call to mind or remember. It is composed of the prefix "re-" meaning again, and "cordis," the genitive of "cor," meaning heart. So originally, it suggested calling something back to the heart, reflecting how memories were once thought to be held in the heart.
