Root Explanation

Hivemind → The word is a compound of "hive" (from Old English *hif*, meaning a structure for bees) and "mind" (from Old English *gemynd*, meaning memory or thought). The term "hivemind" refers to a collective consciousness or shared intelligence, akin to the way bees operate together in a hive.

Memory Tip

Imagine a group of bees working together in a 'hive' — that's how a 'hivemind' represents a shared way of thinking or collective intelligence.
