marid (MAR-id) - n., a type of spirit in Arabian and Muslim mythology.


Generally understood as the most powerful class of jinn, the ones most favored by Iblis and so the most dangerous. Sometimes distinct from ifrit, and sometimes more or less a synonym. The name is from Arabic, of course, from the active participle of root m-r-d, rebellious/recalcitrant.
