Diabolarch

/ˈdaɪəbɒlɑːrk/ noun

Definition

A ruler or leader of devils; a supreme demon or Prince of Darkness figure.

Etymology

From dia- (possibly) or Greek diabolos (devil) + -arch (ruler, from Greek arkhein). A rare theological or literary term.

Kelly Says

Diabolarch is almost exclusively a literary word—it appears in fantasy novels and theological discussions but was never part of standard Christian demonology, making it a modern invention trying to sound ancient.
