古英语中的 deofol 指的是"恶魔,折磨人类的次级恶灵"; 在基督教神学中,它也指"魔鬼,又名撒旦,是一种强大的邪恶精神",源自晚期拉丁语的 diabolus(这也是意大利语中的 diavolo,法语中的 diable,西班牙语中的 diablo 的来源; 德语中的 Teufel 是古高地德语中的 tiufal,通过哥特语的 diabaulus 从拉丁语中借用过来的)。
晚期拉丁语的这个词源自教会希腊语的 diabolos,在犹太教和基督教中,它指的是"魔鬼,撒旦",在一般用法中,它的意思是"控告者,诽谤者"(因此,它是希伯来语中的 satan; 的经文借译,参见 Satan)。它是希腊语中的 diaballein 的代理名词,意为"诽谤,攻击",字面意思是"抛向对面",由 dia "穿过,通过"(参见 dia-)+ ballein "抛出"(源自 PIE 词根 *gwele- "抛出,到达")构成。
杰罗姆在拉丁语圣经中重新引入了 Satan,英语翻译者在不同程度上使用了这两个词。在《拉丁文圣经》中,就像在希腊语中一样, diabolus 和 dæmon(参见 demon)是不同的,但在英语和其他日耳曼语言中,它们已经合并。
从大约1200年开始,它的意思是"假神,异教神"。从12世纪末开始,它的意思是"恶魔般的人,性格上像恶魔或魔鬼的人"。从大约1600年开始,它被戏谑地用来指"狡猾的恶棍"。从大约1200年开始,它被用作咒骂语和咒骂短语。
从1835年开始,它的意思是"沙尘暴,尘土风暴"(dust devil 在1867年之前就有记载)。在美国的地名中,这个词通常代表着像阿尔冈金语中的 manito 这样的本地词,更准确地说,它的意思是"精神,神"。短语 a devil way(大约1300年)最初的意思是"向地狱,去地狱",但到了14世纪末,它只是表示恼怒的表达方式。从1680年代开始,它的意思是"印刷厂的跑腿小弟",可能是因为他们经常被墨水弄黑(那时人们普遍认为恶魔是黑色的)。
Devil's books "扑克牌"是从1729年开始的,但引用的语句说它们被称为这个名字已经"久远到无法记忆"(梅花四是 the devil's bedposts); devil's coach-horse 从1840年开始,是一种大型的 rove 甲壳虫,当被打扰时会显得很抵抗。Devil's food cake(1895年; 在"由俄亥俄州威尔明顿的朋友教堂的妇女援助会编写的烹饪书"中有三种不同的配方),丰富且巧克力味,可能是故意与 angel food cake 形成对比。常用短语 talk(或 speak) of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow 是从1660年代开始的。
Noun Middle English devel, del, dule, going back to Old English dēofol, dīoful, going back to West Germanic *diuvul- (whence also Old Frisian diūvel, diōvel, Old Saxon diuƀal, Middle Dutch duvel, Old High German tiuval, tiufal), probably borrowed from an early Romance outcome of Late Latin diabolus "the Devil," borrowed from Greek diábolos (New Testament, Septuagint, as a rendering of Hebrew śāṭān satan), earlier, "accuser, backbiter, slanderer," agentive derivative of diabállein "to take across, put through, set at variance, attack (a person's character), accuse, slander," from dia- dia- + bállō, bállein "to reach by throwing, let fly, strike, put, place," going back to earlier *gwəl-n-ō or *gwəl-i̯-ō, perhaps going back to an Indo-European base *gwelh1- Note: The standard English pronunciation of devil with the outcome of a short vowel presumably reflects shortening of the Old English dipththong -ēo-/-īo- in syncopated forms, as the nominative plural dēoflas. The early Modern English form divel (as in Shakespeare), preserved in regional and dialectal speech in both Britain and the U.S., shows Middle English shortening of original ẹ̄ to i. Forms such as Middle English dele and early Scots dele show loss of v before a syllable ending in a liquid. — Greek bállein and its many prefixed forms are rich in nominal derivatives, usually with o-grade (as in diábolos, perhaps secondarily agentive, after the adjective diábolos "slanderous, backbiting") or with zero grade blē- (going back to *gwl̥h1-C-). That the original consonant was a labiovelar is assured by the Arcadian form esdellō, with e-grade, corresponding to Greek ekballō "expel, let fall." Despite its thoroughly Indo-European formal properties, bállein has no certain cognates outside Greek. Verb derivative of devil >entry 1
