About
The character 魔, denoting demon or evil spirit, derives from the Buddhist Sanskrit term 'Mara' for a tempter figure, with its formation as a phono-semantic compound using 麻 for phonetic approximation and 鬼 for semantic association with ghostly beings. Originally referring specifically to the Buddhist demon, its application expanded to include malevolent supernatural entities in general and later took on extended meanings related to magic and mystical influence in various contexts.
