Definitions and meaning of myriad

myriad

Etymology

From French myriade, from Late Latin mȳriadem (accusative of mȳrias), from Ancient Greek μυριάς (muriás, “number of 10,000”), from μυρίος (muríos, “numberless, countless, infinite”).

Pronunciation

  • (UK, General American) IPA(key): /ˈmɪɹi.æd/, /ˈmɪɹi.əd/

Noun

myriad (plural myriads)

  1. (historical) Ten thousand; 10,000 [from 16th c.]
  2. A countless number or multitude (of specified things) [from 16th c.]

Usage notes

Used as an adjective (see below), myriad requires neither an article before it nor a preposition after. Because of this, some consider the usage described in sense 2 above, where 'myriad' acts as part of a nominal (or noun) group (that is, "a myriad of animals"), to be tautological.
