Ofrit is a term that finds its origin in Middle Eastern mythology and folklore. In Arabic mythology, an Ofrit (also spelled as Ifrit or Efreet) refers to a powerful and malevolent supernatural creature or spirit. These entities are believed to possess immense strength and are often depicted as cunning and mischievous beings.
In folklore, an Ofrit is often portrayed as a giant or a monstrous creature, frequently associated with the element of fire. It is said that these supernatural beings dwell in deserted places such as ruins, deserts, or forests, and are known for their ability to shape-shift into various forms. They are believed to possess the power to manipulate fire and are often associated with destructive acts and chaos.
According to popular legends, Ofrits can both interact and interfere with humans, occasionally making bargains and demanding obedience in return for granting favors. However, their intentions are generally seen as deceitful, as they are known for their malevolence and their inclination to bring harm or misery to unsuspecting individuals.
In contemporary culture, the term Ofrit is sometimes used metaphorically to describe a person who is cunning, malicious, or possessive in nature. Such individuals may exhibit manipulative behavior and are often depicted as causing harm or discord in various situations.
The word "Ofrit" is of Hebrew origin. It comes from the Hebrew word "ofrit" (עופרית), which refers to a mythical creature in Jewish folklore. The term "ofrit" denotes a type of female demon or spirit that is often depicted as a shapeshifter and is associated with the underworld. In Hebrew, the word "ofrit" may have derived from the root "pri" (פרע), which means "to break loose" or "to rebel".
