MEMORANDUM. Literally, to be remembered. It is an informal instrument recording some fact or agreement, so called from its beginning, when it was made in Latin. It is sometimes commenced with this word, though written in English; as " Memorandum, that it is agreed," or it is headed with the words, " Be it remembered that," & c. The term memorandum is also applied to the clause of an instrument.
