I don't recall if I've contributed to this thread before and not commenting on any specific post here. Every now and then, however, I like to remind everyone of the original concept of 'demon' which is best taken from Britannica because I'm too tired to word it better right now:
The term demon is derived from the Greek word daimōn, which means a “supernatural being” or “spirit.” Though it has commonly been associated with an evil or malevolent spirit, the term originally meant a spiritual being that influenced a person's character.
Nowadays, we have a few different, common references to 'demon' that are meant.
Its original meaning, being something of a tutelary spirit/entity (guardian/patron) of a person, place or thing.
Its meaning in (cross-cultural actually) religious context of a malevolent being.
And from that second one, the demonization of various immortals, minor gods, entities throughout the universe given their darker/more dualistic nature.
And so,
the demon discussion is kept ever interesting, ever complex, confusing for some.
