 Maze/Labyrinth
A maze is the same thing as a labyrinth. They are synonyms, you can use either word you want. The word "labyrinth" was used in Greek mythology and has a more mysterious feel.
Meaning: a complex system of paths or tunnels in which it is easy to get lost.
Gardens are sometimes grown like a maze. A puzzle where you have to follow one pathway through a confusing pattern until the end can be called a maze.
You can also use "maze" or "labyrinth" to talk about something complicated. For example "The government is a labyrinth of rules". |
