中文詞源

myriad 無數，大量

來自希臘語myrias,大量的，無數的，一萬，可能來自PIE*meu,流動，流出，水流，詞源同emanate,marine.即由流動的水引申詞義豐饒的，許多的，無數的。需注意的是，該詞在古希臘語爲單個詞所表示的最大數。詞義演變比較abundant.

英語詞源

myriad (n.)

1550s, from Middle French myriade

and directly from Late Latin myrias (genitive myriadis) "ten thousand," from Greek myrias (genitive myriados) "a number of ten thousand, countless numbers," from myrios (plural myrioi) "innumerable, countless, infinite; boundless," as a definite number, "ten thousand" ("the greatest number in Greek expressed by one word," Liddell & Scott say), of unknown origin; perhaps from PIE *meue- "abundant" (cognates: Hittite muri- "cluster of grapes," Latin muto "penis," Middle Irish moth "penis"). Specific use is usually in translations from Greek or Latin.

myriad (adj.)

c. 1800, from myriad (n.).
