recall

Bring to mind

Recall is to bring back to mind: I can't recall her name.

It also means to summon back—a company recalls defective products, a government recalls an ambassador.

As a noun, recall is the act of remembering or the ability to do so: She has perfect recall of the conversation.

In politics, a recall is a procedure for removing elected officials through a new vote.
