短释义：
A myriad is a lot of something. If you’re talking about Ancient Greece, a myriad is ten thousand, but today you can use the word in myriad other ways.
无数是很多东西。如果你在谈论古希腊，无数就是一万，但今天你可以用无数其他方式使用这个词。
长释义：
Myriad comes from the Greek myrioi, the word for ten thousand, or less specifically, a countless amount. Myriad can be a noun, like a myriad of choices, or an adjective, like when you study myriad subjects in college. If you lift a rock you might find a myriad of bugs. Sticklers often look down their noses at using myriad as a noun, but that usage came first.
无数来自希腊语 myrioi，这个词代表一万，或者更确切地说，是无数的数量。无数可以是一个名词，就像无数的选择，或者一个形容词，就像你在大学学习无数科目时一样。如果你搬起一块石头，你可能会发现无数的虫子。 Sticklers 经常看不起将 myriad 用作名词，但这种用法排在第一位。

词源：
myriad (n.)1550s, “the number of 10,000,” also “an indefinitely great number,” from 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” (source also of Hittite muri- “cluster of grapes,” Latin muto “penis,” Middle Irish moth “penis”). Beekes offers “no etymology.” The numerically specific use is usually in translations from Greek or Latin.
