Root Explanation

Minded → It is formed from "mind" (from Old English "gemynd", meaning memory or thought) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The word "minded" refers to being in a particular state of thought or having a specific inclination or attitude.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mind' as your thoughts or memory, and the '-ed' shows a state of being. So, when someone is 'minded', they are in a certain state of thought or attitude.
