A dialectal or informal adjective meaning resembling a devil or devilish in nature, combining 'devil' with a diminutive or descriptive suffix.
From 'devil' + -ick (an archaic or dialectal diminutive/descriptive suffix). This appears to be dialectal English, possibly Scottish or Irish English, with limited modern standard usage.
This word captures how dialects create entirely new adjectives by sticking familiar suffixes onto common words—'deevilick' sounds almost Shakespearean in its whimsical mischief.
