What Does Hell Mean?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The word hell has been taken from the old English word which means a covered place and in popular context the word is being to refer to a place where the sinful people are sent after the death.

    During ancient times in Israel, Babylon and Greece people considered that there is a place under the ground where everybody is being sent after the death. But the concept of sending the person as a punishment was not in the picture earlier and it was only in the first millennium BC that this idea has been originated and now it is the only meaning the word conveys.

    The word hell plays a part of various idioms and phrases and you can come across the word several times in daily conversation but almost every time the word has the meaning of something bad.
