助記提示
1. 法語詞，縮略、簡化、變體自單詞 hemicrania ，很顯然單詞 hemicrania 更直觀、易懂。
2. hemi- => mi-, cran- => grain-. <== 跟 brain 很像了哈！字母b倒個彎兒，再潦草一下就很像字母g了。
3. The etymological idea underlying the word is of 'pain in one side of the head'.
4. cranium, cranial <====> migraine.

英文詞源
- 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.
