Word Origin & Etymology

Formed in Middle English from the adjective 'mindful' (from Old English 'gemyndful', meaning of good memory or attentive) plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. Its contemporary sense relating to non-judgmental present-moment awareness gained widespread usage in the late 20th century through translations of the Buddhist concept 'sati'.
