Etymology of BEDEVILLING

The word "bedeviling" is derived from the verb "bedevil", which dates back to the 18th century. "Bedevil" has its roots in the combination of two words: "be" and "devil". "Be" is derived from the Old English word "beon", meaning "to be", while "devil" comes from the Old English "deofol", which ultimately traces back to the Greek word "diabolos", meaning "slanderer" or "accuser". Thus, "bedevil" originally referred to causing someone to be tormented or harassed by a devil or an evil spirit. Over time, the term evolved to convey the idea of causing someone great annoyance, trouble, or confusion.
