pandemonium (pan de MOAN ee um) This noun names an atmosphere of uproar, wild noises, confusion. Having nothing to do with “pandas” or “Pandora,” it literally means “(place of) all the demons.” It was coined in 1667 by the great epic poet John Milton as the name for the newly built city in Hell in his poem Paradise Lost. It quickly became a part of secular language, a five-syllable word that is widely known.

• Pandemonium broke out when the promoter announced at the assembly that free tickets to the David Bowie concert would be available to the first ten people to show up in the lobby.
• When the traffic lights at the busy intersection failed, there was a period of pandemonium as cars hesitated, roared forward, hesitated again, and drivers honked and cursed.
