Forms: 1700s– myria-, 1800s myrio- (rare).

In sense 1 after French myria-, myrio- (formations in which are found from the late 18th cent. in this sense; apparently not very productive and now rare), in the terminology of the metric system proposed under the revolutionary regime (compare e.g. myriametre n.). In sense 2 after scientific Latin myria-, used chiefly in taxonomic terms. The scientific Latin adjectives myriacanthus (see myriacanthous adj. at sense 2) and myriamerus (see myriamerous adj. at sense 2), and myrianthus (see myrianthous adj. at sense 2) are attested from the early 19th cent. Compare a small number of formations with invariable form myrio- , as myriorama n., myrioscope n., myriotheism n., which are probably formed independently.

a. Prefixed to the name of a unit of measurement to denote a factor of ten thousand (10⁴), as myriagram, -litre. Not now in standard scientific use. See also myriametre n.
