Question

mnemonic Sales-training courses recommend various mnemonic devices as a way of remembering peoples' names. nɪˈmɑnɪk

Accepted Answer

Having to do with the memory; assisting the memory. The Greek word for memory is mnemosyne, and Mnemosyne was the goddess of memory and the mother of the Muses. So something that helps the memory is a mnemonic aid, or simply a mnemonic. Such traditional mnemonic devices as “Every Good Boy Does Fine” (for the notes on the lines of a musical staff with a treble clef) or the “Thirty days hath September” rhyme help to recall simple rules or complicated series that might otherwise slip away. (For extra credit, guess what “King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk” or “King Philip Could Only Find Green Socks” stands for.) Notice that the first m isn't pronounced, unlike in other -mne- words such as amnesia and amnesty
