Etymology
From Old Swedish hælvīte, from Old Norse helvíti, from hel (itself from Proto-Germanic *haljō, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱel- (“to cover, hide, conceal”)) + víti. In old Norse mythology, the god Loke had a daughter called Hel, who ruled the death realm, Niefelheim. Helvete is a combination of her name and the Old Norse word víti, meaning "punishment". Helvete thus means, the punishment of Hel. Compare Norwegian Bokmål helvete, Norwegian Nynorsk helvete, Danish helvede, Icelandic helvíti. See: Old Norse Nouns '
