millennium

millennium |mɪˈlɛnɪəm | ▶noun ( pl. millennia |-nɪə | or millenniums ) 1 a period of a thousand years, especially when calculated from the traditional date of the birth of Christ. • (the millennium ) Christian Theology the prophesied thousand-year reign of Christ at the end of the age (Rev. 20:1 –5 ). • (the millennium ) a utopian period of justice, peace, and prosperity. 2 an anniversary of a thousand years: the millennium of the Russian Orthodox Church. • (the millennium ) the point at which one period of a thousand years ends and another begins. DERIVATIVES millennial adjective ORIGIN mid 17th cent.: modern Latin, from Latin mille ‘thousand ’, on the pattern of biennium . usage: The correct spelling is millennium not millenium. The latter is a common error, formed by analogy with other similar words correctly spelled with only one n, such as millenarian and millenary. The differences in spelling are explained by different origins. Millennium was formed by analogy with words like biennium, while millenary and millenarian were formed from the Latin milleni.
