The word hag has its roots in the Greek haggia, meaning "holy." It came to be used derogatorily toward older women. So a "hag" looks like an aged woman, or, technically, a holy aged woman.

A hag is typically portrayed as an ugly, old woman in folklore and mythology. She is often associated with wickedness, curses, and malevolent behavior. In some stories, hags are seen as supernatural beings who may possess magical powers.
