In the arabic language "Sheytan" comes from the word "Shatana" meaning;
"that what is far away". So basically Sheytan's roads of sins are far away from any type of road to what is good ( goodness )

Also there has been told that "Sheytan" comes from the word "Shata" literally meaning "burned" , because he was created of fire.

Some Islamic scientist say that both options are correct, however they would pick for the first one.

Also, Siybawayh said; The Arabs say, "he and he have tasheytan' when someone has done a deed of the devil.
