The original meaning of Old English gemynd was the faculty of memory, not of thought in general. Hence call to mind, come to mind, keep in mind, to have mind of, etc. Old English had other words to express 'mind', such as hyge 'mind, spirit'. The generalization of mind to include all mental faculties, thought, volition, feeling & memory, gradually develops over the 14th & 15th centuries. The meaning of 'memory' is shared with Old Norse, which has munr. The word is originally from a PIE verbal root *men-, meaning 'to think, remember', whence also Latin mens 'mind', Sanskrit manas 'mind' & Greek μένος 'mind, courage, anger'.
