To remember, to keep in mind, to recall or call to mind something previously known or experienced.

In some contexts, it can include the sense of making mention of something, whether in speech or writing, or purposefully bringing it up. The term may also figuratively extend to the concept of purposeful remembrance leading to action, such as commemorating, honoring, or at times, taking action on account of what is remembered (including punishment or reward, depending on context).
