daimónion

demon

An intermediate spiritual being; in Greek literature and Hellenistic usage, a supernatural entity understood to inhabit the world between mortal humans and divine gods. In the New Testament and related Jewish texts, primarily refers to hostile or impure spiritual beings believed to oppose or afflict humans, sometimes associated with idolatry or illness. Contextually may also refer more neutrally to supernatural presences (as in some Greek philosophical texts), but in Jewish and early Christian sources, typically denotes malign supernatural forces.

of a spirit-being

Morphological NotesNoun, genitive singular, neuter; denotes possession, source, association, or description depending on usage.
Rendering RationaleThe genitive singular form is rendered with "of" to preserve case, and "spirit-being" reflects the core sense of an intermediate supernatural entity without narrowing prematurely to later theological connotations.
