The word mnemonic comes from the IE root *men-, to think. This root had an "extended" form in *mna-, whence the Greek mnasthai, to remember (cf amnesia, amnesty), and the adjective mnemonikos. The first m is silent, except among hellenists, who sometimes enjoy reviving the old pronunciation of Greek-based words.
