Hello! 😊

The word “amnesia” has its roots in Greek. It comes from the Greek word amnesia (ἀμνησία), which breaks down into two parts: a- meaning “without” or “not,” and mnesis (μνήσις) meaning “memory” or “recollection.” So, amnesia literally means “without memory” or “lack of memory.”

In English, “amnesia” is used to describe a condition where someone is unable to recall certain memories, often due to an injury or trauma.
