“Devil” is the English word for the Greek word διαβολοξ (diábolos), which means “one who throws things around” in the sense of creating the chaos.
By causing chaos, the devil leads people away from God and sometimes even to curse God.
The term "devil" is often used synonymously with the term Satan, even though their meaning in Greek is quite different.
A devil is also a common name for demons or evil spirits.
