People who do harmful, wicked, or morally wrong things; villains or wrongdoers.
Compound of Old English 'yfel' (evil) plus 'doer' (one who does). A straightforward Germanic word combination meaning those who perform evil actions.
Interestingly, most 'evildoers' don't see themselves as evil—they usually think they're good or justified, which is why understanding motivation matters more than just labeling people as villains!
