What does Hobgoblin mean?

The term "hobgoblin" comes from "hob" ("elf") and "goblin" ("mischievous and ugly fairy"); "Hob" is simply a rustic name for the countryside goblin, "a piece of rude familiarity to cover up uncertainty or fear".

Help me understand this title

 

 

A hobogoblin is a spirit of the hearth, typically appearing in folklore, which was once considered helpful but since the spread of Christianity has often been considered wicked. Shakespeare identifies the character of Puck in his A Midsummer Night's Dream as a hobgoblin.

 

This and Gashina are things i always wanted to know what they "mean"

"Why are you 'leaving' such a beautiful woman like me behind?"
