Devilment

Devilment refers to mischievous behavior, reckless playfulness, or wild spirits, often implying a disregard for rules or decorum. It can also describe a state of high energy and boisterous activity, especially among children or animals. The term carries a suggestion of naughtiness, but generally without malicious intent; rather, the focus is on the spirited or unrestrained nature of the actions. Devilment can sometimes border on, or be used synonymously with, impishness or roguery.
