Etymology?[edit]
The intro says "The term is derived from the term mnemonic, which refers to a strategy to support remembering (such as the method of loci or major system)". This probably requires a source, since I find it plausible that they both come from the same root. The article on mnemonics says 'The word "mnemonic" is derived from the Ancient Greek word μνημονικός (mnēmonikos), meaning 'of memory' or 'relating to memory'[2] and is related to Mnemosyne ("remembrance"), the name of the goddess of memory in Greek mythology. Both of these words are derived from μνήμη (mnēmē), 'remembrance, memory'.' Macoroni (talk) 18:33, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
