Origin
Borrowed from Latin memorābilia (“things to be remembered”); its use as noun is after Ancient Greek ἀπομνημονεύματα (apomnēmoneúmata) of the neuter plural of memorābilis (“memorable”). Its English use is perhaps after the Latin title Memorabilia of Xenophon’s collection of Socratic dialogues.
