Morphology
remind = mind (opaque) = re + mind
Although historically built from 're-' and 'mind', this specialized sense 'prompt with forgotten words' is not predictable for most learners from the base alone.
Etymology
Remind comes from the parts re- 'again' and mind 'memory', so to remind an actor during a show is to bring a lost line back into their mind and help them say it.
