OK,SWickipedians-
Why are they called devilled eggs? Seems like a heavy duty name for such an unassuming dish.

Most references refer to use of hot spices, which is not common with devilled eggs in my experience. But they commonly are decorated with sprinkled paprika which gives them a red color, and the illusion of being spicy.

@dancingtongue 4 out of 5 Gypsy Madres approve of overuse of paprika.I think you're onto something .
