I struggle to parse the Latin. My first reading would be "That's why it was pain and the greatest..."

What does the maximus refer to? Is it an attribute to dolor, and if so, what does the et refer to?

Or am I supposed to read it as an implied duplication or retroactive emphasis? "pain, the greatest (pain) even."

Or is there something I'm missing between morning brain and rusted skills?

Or is it not actually sound Latin and I'm trying way harder than I should?

Let me help you a bit since you got morning brainLorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi ac ultricies ipsum, nec fermentum quam. Ut gravida nisl purus, et interdum risus porttitor a. Aenean euismod tellus ante, viverra fermentum tortor commodo a. Praesent lacus mauris, efficitur eget odio a, mollis fringilla eros. Orci varius natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Duis bibendum euismod mi id maximus. Vestibulum lacinia tincidunt sapien vel lobortis. Curabitur consectetur iaculis iaculis. Mauris tincidunt elit ac quam finibus, id dapibus leo sodales.

I suspected that, but couldn't find the specific bit in the Lorem Ipsum text, nor in the original its fragments were lifted from, so I assumed it was a genuine quote or self-constructed sentence.

I'll file it under "went way too hard on a throwaway blurb" then, thanks.
