Forms: 1600s– diabolize, 1700s– diabolise.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element. Etymons: Greek διάβολος , -ize suffix.

Etymology: < Hellenistic Greek διάβολος devil (see devil n.) + -ize suffix. Compare French †diaboliser to subject (a person's mind) to diabolical influence or control (1619 or earlier), to corrupt (a person) (1640 or earlier), and also post-classical Latin diabolizare to be possessed by a demon or ‘devil’ (11th cent.), and Hellenistic Greek δαιμονίζεσθαι in the same sense (see demonize v.). Compare slightly earlier diabolized adj., diabolizing adj.

†1. transitive. Of a devil: to possess (a person). More widely: to subject to diabolical influence or control; to lead or beguile into doing evil; to render mad or delirious. Obsolete.
