diabo
See also: Diabo
Portuguese
Etymology
From Old Galician-Portuguese diabo, earlier diaboo, displacing the collateral forms diabre, diabro and diablo, from Ecclesiastical Latin, Late Latin diabolus (“devil”) (probably borrowed as a semi-learned term), itself from Ancient Greek διάβολος (diábolos, “slanderer”).
