Which is the correct phrase For a myriad of reasons or for myriad reasons?

Answer 1

The grammatically correct phrase is "for myriad reasons."

The word "myriad" is an adjective derived from the Greek and literally means 10,000. Its current definition is "countless" or "innumerable. The closest synonym is the adjective "manifold."

In order, to determine whether any use of the term myriad is grammatically correct, replace it with the word "countless," "innumerable" or "10,000." No reasonable person would believe it to be grammatically correct to say or to write that they did something "for a countless of reasons" or "for an innumerable of reasons" or "for a 10,000 of reasons." Thus, it is not grammatically correct to say or to write that they did something "for a myriad of reasons." Therefore, the grammatically correct phrase is "for myriad reasons."

In contrast, the words "bunch" and "plethora" are nouns. Thus, for these words, the grammatically proper phrases would be "for a bunch of reasons" or "for a plethora of reasons."
