Common Misspellings for BEDEVILLED

Etymology of BEDEVILLED

The word "bedevilled" comes from the combination of two parts: "be-" and "devil".

The prefix "be-" in this context is an intensifier, emphasizing or intensifying the action. It comes from Middle English and Old English, where it could be used to indicate "on all sides" or "completely".

The term "devil" comes from Old English "deofol", which evolved from the Greek word "diabolos", meaning "slanderer" or "accuser". In Christian theology, the Devil is often associated with evil, temptation, and torment.

Combining these two elements, "bedevilled" implies being thoroughly tormented, harassed, or troubled by malevolent or malicious forces, similar to being under the influence or control of the Devil himself.
