myriad

• adj.
• n. innumerable, a great number; a innumerable number of persons or things; 無数の人または物

ギリシャ語のmyrias, a great number, innumerable, ten thousandから、おそらくPIE*meu, flow, outflow, current, emanate, marineと語源的には同じ。古代ギリシャ語では、この単語は一つの単語で表される最大の数であったことに注目すべきである。言葉の意味の進化は、より豊かさである。

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.
