From Middle English Antecrist, from late Old English Antecrist, from Late Latin antichristus, from Ancient Greek ἀντίχριστος (antíkhristos). By surface analysis, anti- +‎ Christ.

The modern spelling of the word is due to an effort to reflect the Latin etymon.

Antichrist

1. (Christianity, Islam) A false messiah who, under direct control of the Devil, will usher in the abomination in the end times; a false prophet.

In contemporary English, is often (but not always) preceded by the definite article: the Antichrist.

N.b. that, although typically denoting a single figure in modern usage, the term was originally used to describe any of several people prophesied to fill this role.
