How do you spell Migraine?
Correct spelling
migraine
Remember the French 'aine' ending - it's mi-GRAIN-e, not mi-GRAN-e
Why is migraine spelled this way?
From Greek hemikrania, half the skull. HEMI (half) + KRANION (skull). A headache affecting half the head. The word was drastically shortened through French — the 'aine' ending is the trap.
