Etymology
Voldemort is also used as an insult for someone seen as very cruel or feared; the name comes from French parts vol ('flight' or 'theft') and mort ('death'), which links the person to the story's evil figure who tries to escape death. So, calling someone Voldemort compares them to a feared villain.
