Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'mystic presence, hidden religious symbolism'): from Old French mistere or Latin mysterium, from Greek mustērion; related to mystic.

Mystery goes back to Greek mustērion, which is related to mystic (Middle English) and mystify (early 19th century). In ancient Greece mysteries were secret religious ceremonies witnessed only by the initiated, who were sworn never to disclose their nature. In Christianity the word means either a truth long kept secret but now revealed through Christ, or something of symbolic significance. The first English uses of mystery were in religious contexts, but it soon spread into wider use for something inexplicable or beyond human comprehension, and then for simply a puzzle or conundrum. In the heyday of British coach parties the mystery tour to an unspecified destination was popular. The Beatles went one stop further with their Magical Mystery Tour, an album and TV film of 1967.
