Your Definition

A number of distinct words and concepts in the original Greek that the New Testament was written in were all translated into the [single] English word Hell, from the Teutonic word ‘Hel’ which meant ‘to cover’ and later was the name of the Norse goddess of the underworld and later of the underworld itself.
Tartaros
In 2 Pet. 2:4 this word is used to describe a place where angels, not human beings, that have sinned are temporarily imprisoned.
Geenna
This word is used by Jesus to reference a physical (not ethereal) and specific (not abstract) [garbage] dump in the southwest of Jerusalem where the physical bodies (not ethereal spirits) of criminals were disposed of and cremated in flames instead of being given an honorable burial. When Jesus says hell in contexts such as "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?” ([Matthew] 23:33) Geenna is the word actually used. [Today] this valley is no longer a [garbage] dump and has instead been converted into a park.
Hades
This word, which means “unseen” describes the state of nonexistence in death. A being in the state of Hades does not do or experience anything. Sometimes poetic license is taken to express some point, but this is figurative. The term itself in the context of the [bible] refers to the state of nothingness, the Greek counterpart to the Hebrew Sheol.
Sheol
Although this later evolved into a type of afterlife, originally this, [like] Hades, meant merely the grave. The good and bad alike [go] here.
Lake of Fire
This was a later construction found in Revelations.
The [Christian] concept of hell evolved out of a hatred for the Romans, who ruled over the Jews, and a desire to annihilate them totally. This incredibly [black] hatred and desire for [revenge] to an unjust degree was forged out of a deep-seated insecurity, the [childish] rage that can only think of destroying [one]’s adversaries, and an incredible jealousy that wanted to rule over the Romans the way the Romans currently ruled over the Jews—taken to infinity.
