Etymology
en ine-pro *lewk- *bʰer-
From en enm Lucifer, from en la Lūcifer from la lūx light ferō bear, carry 1. Attested in Old English as Lūċifer. Replaced native calque ang lēohtberend lightbearer also from the same Latin source. Application of the name to Satan results from what is probably a misinterpretation of Isaiah 14:12 (whence also the corresponding sense of en morning star).
