Definition
"To forget" means to fail to remember information, events, or objects, either temporarily or permanently. For example, when someone forgets their keys at home, they do not recall having them with them at that moment.
Étymologie
The word "to forget" comes from the Old English "forgietan," which means to lose remembrance or to fail to keep in mind. It is related to the Proto-Germanic *forgitaną, combining 'for-' meaning 'completely' and 'gitaną' meaning 'to get' or 'to obtain.' Did you know? The sense of 'completely losing' something reflects the total loss of memory implied by "to forget."
