Forms: 1800s– Mithraeum, 1900s– mithraeum.

Origin: From a proper name, combined with a borrowing from Latin; modelled on a Greek lexical item. Etymons: proper name Mithrās, Latin -eum, -eus.

Etymology: < classical Latin Mithrās (see Mithras n.) + -eum, neuter of -eus (see -eous suffix), after Hellenistic Greek Μιθραῖον. Compare Italian mitreo (1834), German Mithreum (1838 or earlier; also in 20th cent. in forms Mithraeum, Mithräum), French mithraeum (mid 20th cent. or earlier; also 1926 in form mithreum). N.E.D. (1907) gives only the pronunciation (miþrī·ɒ̆m) /mɪˈθriːəm/.

Classical History and Archaeology.

A sanctuary of the god Mithras; a chapel (often underground) for the worship of Mithras.
