hag
Wizened folklore witch
A hag is an ugly old woman, especially one perceived as frightening or malevolent.
In folklore, hags are witches or evil spirits: The old hag cursed the village.
The word is insulting when applied to real women, implying both age and unpleasantness: Some hag yelled at me for parking in her spot.
