Greek labýrinthos (Mycenean DA-PU-RI₂-TO-JO 'of the labyrinth') designated an
elaborated place built by the artificer Daedalus for the king Minos of
Crete and whose function was to hold the Minotaur, a legendary creature
half man and half bull. Although the Cretan labyrinth had a square or rectangular shape, there is an older circular version found in several ancient cultures, mostly in petroglyphs.
From the Greek word, I'd reconstruct Minoan1 *ɮabur 'fence, wall', with an initial voiced lateral represented as /d/ in Linear B. Seemingly related words are Etruscan spur 'city', Egyptian ʃzp(a) 'fence', Central Chadic *ɮabˁ- 'fence, to fence', Low East Cushitic (Afar) sabsab- 'wall' (reduplicative).
