different between promnesia vs promnesic

English

Etymology

Coined by philologist and psychical researcher Frederic W. H. Myers (1843-1901) on the model of English amnesia via New Latin amn?sia, a learned borrowing from Koine Greek ??????? (amn?sía). The essential components ???- (pro-, “pre-, before”) +? ????? (mn?m?, “memory”) +? -?? (-ía), formed by analogy to Greek ??????? (amnisía), substituting prefix pro- for the privative a- attached to a root from Ancient Greek ???????? (mimn?sk?, “to remind, recall”), ??????? (mnáomai, “to remember”) from Proto-Indo-European *men- (“to think, mind”). Compare Greek ????????? (promnisía).
