Definition
A mischievous or malevolent creature or spirit, sometimes depicted as a kind of demon or devilish being.
Etymology
Compound of 'hell' and 'kite,' where 'kite' derives from Old English and referred to a bird of prey, later metaphorically used for cunning or predatory creatures and people.
Kelly Says
Medieval and Elizabethan writers combined 'hell' with animal names to create vivid insults—'hellkite' appears in Shakespeare as a sharply evocative way to describe someone cruel or wickedly clever.
