memorabilia

== English == === Etymology === 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. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˌmɛm(ə)ɹəˈbɪlɪə/, /ˌmɛm(ə)ɹəˈbiːlɪə/ (General American, Canada) IPA(key): /ˌmɛm(ə)ɹəˈbɪlɪə/, /ˌmɛm(ə)ɹəˈbilɪə/ (General Australian) IPA(key): /ˌmem(ə)ɹəˈbɪlɪə/, /ˌmem(ə)ɹəˈbiːlɪə/ === Noun === memorabilia pl (normally plural, singular (rare) memorabile) (originally US) Objects that are connected to or remind their owner of past events.
