- 1回想、回憶起（比 remember 正式；不是「記得要去做某事」）
When you recollect something, you can bring it back into your mind — a name, a face, a day, a thing someone said. People often use it when the memory is not sitting right at the front of their head; they have to reach for it. “I don’t recollect his name” is a polite, slightly careful way of saying you cannot remember. It is more formal than remember, and you hear it more in writing and from older speakers than in quick chat. You recollect the past. You do not recollect to lock the door — that job belongs to remember. Though actually, even native speakers mix the two, and in many sentences remember would sit just as well.
組成Borrowed from Medieval Latin recollectus (“remembered, composed”), from Latin recolligo (“gather again, recover”). In English it is also re- (again) + collect (gather): the picture is gathering a memory back together.
