A demon (Spanish/Portuguese word sometimes used in English in literary or cultural contexts).
From Spanish and Portuguese demonio, derived from Latin daemon and Greek daimon. Used in English when referencing Hispanic texts or cultural concepts.
In Gabriel García Márquez and other Spanish-language literature, 'demonio' carries a different cultural weight than English 'demon'—it's often tied to folk Catholicism, creating a uniquely Latin American supernatural aesthetic.
