Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro From Middle English devil, devel, deovel, from Old English dēofol, from *diubul, from Latin diabolus, ultimately from Ancient Greek διάβολος (false accuser, slanderer), also as "Satan" (in Jewish/Christian usage, translating), from διαβάλλω (to slander), literally “to throw across”, from διά (through, across) + βάλλω (throw).
