Etymology

The word 'demon' originated from the Latin word 'daemon', which was derived from the Greek 'daimon', meaning 'divine power' or 'fate'. In ancient Greek religion and philosophy, a daimon was a supernatural being that acted as a spirit guide or intermediary between humans and the gods. Over time, the concept of demons evolved to include malevolent or evil spirits in various cultures and religions.
