Root Breakdown
Root-derivedmemor (mindful, remembering) + -y (state/quality) = the state of being mindful — i.e. the power to keep the past in mind. Memory is the storehouse where what you've seen and learned is kept. English later lent the same word to machines: a computer's memory is its storehouse of data.
