Origin

Late Middle English (referring to the maze constructed by Daedalus to house the Minotaur): from French labyrinthe or Latin labyrinthus, from Greek laburinthos.

The word was first used to refer to the mythological maze constructed by the Greek craftsman Daedalus for King Minos of Crete to house the Minotaur, a creature half-man half-bull. It comes from Greek laburinthos. By the early 17th century it was being used both for mazes in landscaped gardens and for something intricately complicated.
