Ah, I didn't realise that you actually don't know what it means. Sorry, I should have explained earlier. The word literally refers to a "wandering womb", from the Greek "hystera", and throughout history has been used to dismiss women's (sometimes medical, sometimes not) issues and concerns as being due to their uterus (and, by extension, their feeble ladybrains).
