Antichrist
an·tich·rist
noun
(Christianity) the adversary of Christ (or Christianity) mentioned in the New Testament; the Antichrist will rule the world until overthrown by the Second Coming of Christ
Origin
From Middle English Antecrist, from late Old English Antecrist, from Late Latin antichrīstus, from Ancient Greek ἀντίχριστος (antíkhristos). By surface analysis, anti- + Christ. The modern spelling of the word is due to an effort to reflect the Latin etymon. Sense 2 refers to the United Nations being the subject of conspiracy theories as a global power and a perceived enemy.
