Satanically: meaning, definitions and examples

The term 'satanically' derives from the root 'Satan', which is characterized as an adversarial figure in various religious traditions, primarily within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The name Satan comes from the Hebrew 'Satan', meaning 'adversary' or 'accuser'. The word evolved through Greek and Latin before being adopted into English. Over time, 'satan' came to symbolize the embodiment of evil within these religious narratives. As the influence of Christian theology expanded throughout Europe, the notion of a devil who is in opposition to God and represents all things sinful became more entrenched, contributing to the adverbial form 'satanically'. This term reflects actions or characteristics that are perceived as profoundly malicious or evil, often used in both a literal theological context and a more figurative literary sense.
