The word comes from the Greek meaning a fable, a slight saying or a word, a speech, a tale. I apologise that I cannot type the original Greek word on my computer!

pp 300 ' Concise Etymological Dictionary of the English Language'

Rev. W. W. Skeat

Oxford at the Clarendon Press. 1884

and myths are things that are not able to explain so they make a story about it
