Labyrinth

/ˈlæbərɪnθ/ noun

Definition

A labyrinth is a complex and confusing network of paths or passages, like a maze that is hard to find your way through.

Etymology

From Latin *labyrinthus*, from Greek *labyrinthos*, the name of the legendary maze that held the Minotaur in Greek mythology. Over time it came to describe any extremely complicated or winding structure.

Kelly Says

Unlike a typical maze with many branches and dead ends, a classical labyrinth actually has one long winding path to the center and back out. The word has become a metaphor for any situation that feels so complicated you can barely find your way through it.
