1
very cruel or wicked person
A person who is very evil and seems to enjoy hurting or harming others.
वापर नमुना:
a fiend who [does something bad]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse 'fiend' with 'friend' because the words look similar. They are opposites: a 'fiend' is very bad, while a 'friend' is someone you like and trust. Also, 'fiend' is much stronger and more emotional than general words like 'bad person'.

monster (Stresses shocking cruelty or lack of normal human feeling.)
|
villain (Common in stories; a bad or criminal person, but can sound less extreme than 'fiend'.)
|
brute (Emphasizes rough, violent, or animal-like behavior.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द

2
person extremely keen on something
A person who loves something so much that they do it or want it all the time.
वापर नमुना:
a fiend for [something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes think 'fiend' only means an evil person. In informal English, 'fiend' can also be positive or playful, meaning someone really loves or does something a lot (for example, 'a fitness fiend'). Also, 'fiend' is countable, so you say 'a fiend for chocolate', not just 'fiend for chocolate'.
समानार्थी शब्द
fanatic (Can sound negative or extreme; often used for people who take an interest too far.)
|
addict (Common in casual speech for strong liking (e.g. 'chocolate addict'), though it also literally means someone with a medical addiction.)
|
enthusiast (More neutral and polite; lacks the playful or extreme tone of 'fiend'.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
casual (As in 'casual user' or 'casual fan'; someone who is not very serious or intense about the activity or thing.)

evil supernatural spirit or demon
An evil spirit, like a demon or devil, often in stories or religious writing.
वापर नमुना:
a fiend from [place]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners may mix this sense with the general 'very bad person' meaning. Context usually shows which is meant: if other supernatural words like 'hell', 'magic', or 'spirit' are present, it is probably this religious or fantasy sense.
समानार्थी शब्द
demon (Standard word for an evil spirit; very close in meaning to this sense of 'fiend'.)
|
devil (Can refer to a specific main evil being (Satan) or an evil spirit in general.)
|
evil spirit (More general and descriptive; less literary than 'fiend'.)

person addicted to hard drugs
A person who cannot stop using illegal drugs, especially very strong ones; used as a rude word.
वापर नमुना:
a [drug] fiend
सामान्य चूक:
Learners may overuse this slang word in serious discussions about addiction. In careful or formal speech, 'drug addict' or 'person with a drug addiction' is preferred, because 'fiend' sounds very negative and insulting.
समानार्थी शब्द
junkie (Very common slang for a drug addict; also rude and stigmatizing.)
|
drug addict (More neutral and clinical; often used in serious or medical contexts.)
|
user (Softer and less judgmental term for someone who takes illegal drugs.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
sober person (Someone who is not using drugs or alcohol; opposite of a heavily addicted 'fiend'.)
