migraine的词源

英文词源

migraine: migraine: [14] The earliest English forms of this word were mygrame and mygrane, but eventually it became institutionalized as megrim. Not until the 18th century did what is now the standard form, migraine, begin to appear on the scene, probably as a reborrowing of the word’s original source, French migraine. This came via late Latin hēmicrānia from Greek hēmikrāníā, literally ‘half-skull’ (krāníon is the source of English cranium [16], and is distantly related to English horn). The etymological idea underlying the word is of ‘pain in one side of the head’.
=> cranium, horn
migraine (n.): late 14c., megrim, from Old French migraigne (13c.), from vulgar pronunciation of Late Latin hemicrania "pain in one side of the head, headache," from Greek hemikrania, from hemi- "half" + kranion "skull" (see cranium). The Middle English form was re-spelled 1777 on the French model. Related: Migrainous.

来自古法语migraigne,来自拉丁语hemicraniar的俗化发音，来自hemi-,半边的，-cran,头颅，词源同cranial,cranium.即半边头痛，偏头痛。
