- 1無數的；大量的
A very large number of something, too many to easily count. It can be used as a noun ("a myriad of problems") or right before a noun with no "of" ("myriad problems") — both are completely normal in modern English.
From the word’s history
From French myriade, from Late Latin mȳriadem, from Ancient Greek mūriás 'ten thousand'.
借自法文 myriade，源自古希臘文 μυριάς「一萬」。
組成From Greek "myrioi," originally meaning "ten thousand," which came to just mean "a huge number."
