Etymology

origin and the way in which meanings have changed throughout history.

The term 'demonizing' comes from the English language, specifically from the Middle English term 'demonisen', which meant 'to represent as a demon' or 'to accuse of being a demon'. This term was derived from the Old English term 'demon', which originally meant 'a god' or 'a spirit' but came to be used negatively to refer to 'evil spirits' or 'demons'. Thus, the term 'demonizing' came to be used to describe the act of representing or portraying someone or something in a negative, derogatory, or condemning way, as if they were 'evil spirits' or 'demons'.
