Etymology
From Middle English devil, devel, deovel, from Old English d?ofol, d?oful, from earlier d?obul (“devil”), from Latin diabolus, ultimately from Ancient Greek ???????? (diábolos, “accuser, slanderer”), also as "Satan" (in Jewish/Christian usage, translating Biblical Hebrew ??????? (??t?n)), from ???????? (diabáll?, “to slander”), literally “to throw across”, from ??? (diá, “through, across”) + ????? (báll?, “throw”). The Old English word was probably adopted under influence of Latin diabolus (itself from the Greek). Other Germanic languages adopted the word independently: compare Saterland Frisian Düüwel (“devil”), West Frisian duvel (“devil”), Dutch duivel, duvel (“devil”), German Low German Düvel (“devil”), German Teufel (“devil”), Danish djævel (“devil”), Swedish djävul (“devil”) (older: djefvul, Old Swedish diævul, Old Norse dj?full). Doublet of diable, diablo, and diabolus.
