anamnesis is a noun meaning "a calling to mind" or "recollection," from the verb anamimnesko, "to remind of," "to recall to memory," "to remember."

The ana- part means "again," and mimnesko by itself means "to remind" or "to call to memory." (The root is mna-.)

Alpha by itself at the beginning of a word is sometimes a negative (as in "atheist") but before a vowel an -n- is added so it sometimes looks similar to the ana- prefix.
