djinni
Wish-granting spirit
A djinni is a supernatural being in Arab and Islamic mythology—a spirit made of smokeless fire, capable of appearing in human or animal form.
Djinn (the plural) range from benevolent to malevolent, and feature prominently in folktales like *One Thousand and One Nights*.
Western adaptations often render the word as genie.
Also spelled djinn, jinn, or jinni.
