Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Arabic عِفْرِيت (ʿifrīt, “ifrit, powerful spirit or demon”), plural عَفَارِيت (ʿafārīt). The Arabic word is traditionally connected by Arabic philologists with the root ع ف ر (ʕ f r), associated with senses such as “rebellious” and “strong”. In Islamic and Arabic folklore, the word came to denote a powerful, often hostile spirit or demon, commonly treated as a type of jinn (“jinn”). Compare Danish ifrit, Swedish ifrit, German Ifrit, French ifrit and English ifrit.
