What fiend means
A person who is extremely devoted to or obsessed with something, or someone who causes great harm or suffering.
Where the word comes from
From Old English "feond," meaning enemy or adversary, related to the verb "feon" (to hate).

Over time, it came to mean a wicked or cruel person, and eventually acquired supernatural associations, particularly in Christian contexts, where it referred to a demon or evil spirit.
