a hard hug for the one organ you can't replace
means A protective covering for the head, usually rigid, worn to guard the skull against impact or injury.
from From a diminutive of the Old English helm, 'protection, covering, crown' — literally 'a little helm.' That helm traces back to a Germanic root meaning 'to cover or conceal,' a cousin of words like the verb 'helm' and possibly related to 'hull' (the covering of a seed or ship). So at its core a helmet is simply 'a small covering' — the warrior's word that quietly outlived the warriors.
