==Etymology== Choroid plexus translates from the Latin {{lang|la|plexus chorioides}},<ref name="Suzuki1936">Suzuki, S., Katsumata, T., Ura, R. Fujita, T., Niizima, M. & Suzuki, H. (1936). Über die Nomina Anatomica Nova. ''Folia Anatomica Japonica, 14'', 507-536.</ref> which mirrors [[Ancient Greek]] {{lang|grc|χοριοειδές πλέγμα}}.<ref name="Liddell & Scott">{{cite book | vauthors = Liddell HG, Scott R | date = 1940 | title = A Greek-English Lexicon | url = https://archive.org/details/b31364949_0001 | location = Oxford | publisher = Clarendon Press }}</ref> The word ''chorion'' was used by [[Galen]] to refer to the outer membrane enclosing the fetus. Both meanings of the word plexus are given as pleating, or braiding.<ref name="Liddell & Scott"/> As often happens language changes and the use of both ''choroid'' or ''chorioid'' is both accepted. [[Nomina Anatomica]] (now [[Terminologia Anatomica]]) reflected this dual usage.{{cn|date=July 2024}}
