Arabic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
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”.
Noun[edit]
دَجَّال • (dajjāl) m (plural دَجَّالُون (dajjālūn) or دَجَاجِلَة (dajājila), feminine دَجَّالَة (dajjāla))
- someone who covers, coats things
- swindler, cheat, imposter, charlatan, mountebank, liar
- (Islam) the False Messiah
- Synonyms: (Christianity) ضِدّ المَسِيح (ḍidd al-masīḥ, “the Antichrist”), (Christianity) نَقِيض المَسِيح (naqīḍ al-masīḥ, “the Antichrist”)
