The new medical term for the day: dura meter! LOL!
If I remember correctly, dura mater translates to hard mother!
ETA: seems my CRS isn't so bad:Word Origin & History
From Dictionary.com:
dura mater
"tough outer membrane surrounding the brain," c.1400, from M.L. dura mater cerebri, lit. "hard mother of the brain," a loan-transl. of Ar. umm al-dimagh as-safiqa, lit. "thick mother of the brain." "In Arabic, the words 'father,' 'mother,' and 'son' are often used to denote relationships between things"
