دجال

See also: دخال‎

Arabic

Etymology

Belongs to د ج ل‎ (d-j-l) now, with a verb دَجَلَ‎ (dajala, “dupe, cheat, swindle, deceive”), but the early religious use suggests that these meanings are a semantic loan from Classical Syriac ܕܰܓܳܠܳܐ‎ (daggālā, “liar”), also used for the False Messiah, whereas the Arabic root prominently means “smearing things over other things”, “coating”.

  2. swindler, cheat, imposter, charlatan, mountebank, liar
