Etymology
Satan comes from an old Hebrew word satan, which means 'adversary' or 'accuser' and was used for someone who opposes or accuses others. So, Satan became the name for the great opponent and tempter in Jewish, Christian and Islamic stories, called Shaytan in Arabic, and that is why the word now means the chief spirit of evil.
