myriad

MIR-ee-əd

meaning in plain English

Picture a night sky packed with stars—so many you can’t count them. It means a huge, almost uncountable number of things.

Think MIR, like a mirror reflecting a sea of stars—myriad, a huge number you can’t count.

for example

I walked through the garden and saw a myriad of bright tulips swaying in the wind.

When you stare at a field of dandelions and notice a myriad, you’re seeing a sea of blossoms that seems endless. It’s the kind of number that feels too big to tally.
