devil
Significado
demonio, persona malvada, figura de tentación, adversario
En inglés, "devil" se refiere a una figura sobrenatural que representa el mal y la tentación, a menudo asociada con el infierno en contextos religiosos. Además de su uso religioso, también puede describir a una persona extremadamente malvada o cruel. En contextos figurativos, se utiliza para describir a alguien que actúa como un adversario o que incita a otros a hacer cosas negativas.
💡 While "devil" typically connotes a singular entity, it is often used metaphorically to describe individuals or forces that embody wickedness or moral depravity, which can lead to ambiguity in its application.
