myriad

/ˈmɪrɪəd/noun

A very large number of things, too many to count.

Example sentences

  • “The market offered a myriad of spices from all over the world.”
  • “Teachers in crowded classrooms face a myriad of daily challenges.”

Works as an adjective too: myriad stars. Purists dislike 'a myriad of', but both constructions have long histories.
