Our word for the worst possible place ( religious or not) comes from Proto-Germanic haljo, "the underworld." Some relationship also exists between "cell" and "hell" through the Proto-Indo-European word for "to cover" or "conceal9" — kel.

我们用来形容可能出现的最坏的世界（无论是否与宗教相关）的词来源于原始日耳曼语haljo——“阴间”。“cell”和“hell”还在原印欧语词存在某些关系，意为“覆盖”或“隐藏”。
