Borrowed from Latin Mausōlēum, from Ancient Greek Μαυσωλεῖον (Mausōleîon), from Μαύσωλος (Maúsōlos, “Mausolus”) + -εῖον (-eîon, noun-forming suffix meaning “place or building associated with a specific purpose or person”). By surface analysis, Mausolus + -eum.

From Middle English mausoleum, from Latin Mausōlēum, from Ancient Greek Μαυσωλεῖον (Mausōleîon, “Mausoleum, the grand tomb built around 353–351 BCE at Halicarnassus for Mausolus, a ruler of Caria and satrap of the Achaemenid Empire; one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World”), from Μαύσωλος (Maúsōlos, “Mausolus”) + -εῖον (-eîon, noun-forming suffix meaning “place or building associated with a specific purpose or person”). By surface analysis, Mausolus + -eum.
