单词 pia mater
释义

pia matern.

Brit. /ˌpʌɪə ˈmeɪtə/, /ˌpiːə ˈmeɪtə/, U.S. /ˈˌpiə ˈmɑdər/, /ˈˌpaɪə ˈmeɪdər/
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin pia mater.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin pia mater (from 12th cent. in British sources; < classical Latin pia , feminine of pius dutiful, pious (see pious adj.) + māter mother n.1); a somewhat incorrect rendering of the Arabic name umm raqīqa ‘thin or tender mother’ (Ibn Durayd, a.d. 933; the modern term is al-umm al-ḥanūn ‘tender mother’): compare names of other investing membranes in umm ‘mother’, especially dura mater n. Compare Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French pie mere (c1240; French pie-mère).Western writers without knowledge of the Arabic origin have attempted to explain the term in various ways; compare e.g. quot. 1577 at sense 1.
Anatomy.
