- Webster's II:
- evil - The word *evil* is ultimately related to the words *up* and
- *over* and to the prefix *hypo-*, "under, beneath." The basic sense of
- *evil*, which is now lost, was therefore probably "exceeding proper
- bounds" or "overreaching," and the word did not signify merely the
- absence of good.
