In the Middle Ages, Termagant or Tervagant was the name given to a god which European Christians believed Muslims worshipped.[1][2]
Text from a manuscript of the Chanson de Guillaume: Tresque il vendreit de aurer Tervagant
The word is also used in modern English to mean a violent, overbearing, turbulent, brawling, quarrelsome woman; a virago, shrew, vixen.[1] In the past, the word could be applied to any person or thing personified, not just a woman.
