"devil"

the word "devil" comes from the Greek word διάβολος (diabolos), which means "slanderer" or "accuser." It does not originate from Hebrew.

The first recorded use of the word "devil" in Greek is in the Septuagint (LXX), the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, completed around 285–250 BC. The word διάβολος (diabolos) appears in places like Job 1:6 and Zechariah 3:1, where it translates the Hebrew word שָּׂטָן (Satan), meaning "adversary" or "accuser."

The Greek word διάβολος (diabolos) means "slanderer" or "accuser." It comes from the verb διαβάλλω (diaballō), which means "to throw across" or "to accuse falsely."

The word diabolos existed before the Septuagint in classical Greek writings, where it referred to someone who slandered or spread false accusations (not necessarily a supernatural being).
