释义

A demon is an evil supernatural being in stories or religions. It can also describe a person or force that seems cruel, destructive, or difficult to control.

用法与细微差别

Most commonly refers to a supernatural evil being. In figurative use, it often appears in phrases like 'inner demons' (personal struggles) or to describe someone with extreme energy or skill, as in 'a speed demon'. Stronger and darker than 'devil' in some contexts, but the two are sometimes used loosely.
