"בעל זבוב" meaning in All languages combined

See בעל זבוב on Wiktionary

Proper name [Hebrew]

Forms: בַּעַל זְבוּב [canonical], Ba'al Zvuv [romanization]
Etymology: Roots ב־ע־ל (b-ʿ-l) ז־ב־ב (z-b-b) From בַּעַל (baʿal, “lord, master; Baal”) + זְבוּב (zvuv, “fly”, the insect), appearing in the Hebrew Scriptures as the purported name of a deity worshipped by the Philistines in Ekron. It's likely this was not the god's actual name and instead was a polemic against the deity, possibly by associating the figure with defecation (hence flies).
