An archenemy (sometimes spelled arch-enemy) is the main enemy of someone.[1][2][3] In fiction, it is a character who is the hero's or protagonist's most prominent and worst enemy. EtymologyThe word archenemy or arch-enemy originated around the mid-16th century, from the words arch-[3] (from Greek ἄρχω archo meaning "to lead") and enemy.[1] An archenemy may also be referred to as archrival, archfoe, archvillain, or archnemesis.{{cn|date=May 2017}} However, an archenemy may also be distinguished from a nemesis, with the latter being an enemy who the hero cannot defeat (or who defeats the hero), even while not being a longstanding or consistent enemy to the hero.[4] See also
