The Linguistic meanings of the Arabic words Shaitan and Iblis

Many people do not know Allah. This series is an attempt to help them in order to know and acknowledge their Creator.
Verses 7:26-27 of the Noble Quran talk about:
1) Allah Has sent down on you a garment, and the best is the garment of righteous deeds,
2) Satan is the friend of those who do not believe,
3) Satan and his tribe see you from whence you do not see them,
4) Satan and his tribe have their home in your breasts and
5) Satan loves your nakedness to manifest to your shameful parts
The meaning of verse 7:26
O Children of Adam! We have sent down on you a garment, that is, We have created it for you, to conceal, to cover up, your shameful parts, and feathers, meaning all that one adorns oneself with of garments, and the garment of Allah-fearing, righteous deeds and virtuous traits, ‘the garment of Allah-fearing’ that is best; that is one of Allah’s signs, the proofs of His power; perhaps they will remember, and believe (the address shifts to mankind).
In other words, Allah gives advice mankind and says:
(O Children of Adam! We have revealed unto you) We have created and given you (raiment) clothes of cotton, wool and fur (to conceal your shame) your nakedness, (and splendid vesture) properties and stuff, that is the furniture of the house, (but the raiment of restraint from evil) the raiment of profession of Allah’s divine Oneness and of abstinence, (that is best) better than the raiment of cotton. (This) the raiment of cotton (is of the revelations of Allah) of the marvels of Allah, (that they may remember) take admonition.
The meaning of verse 7:27
Then, Allah takes you back to remember what happened to your father and mother, Adam and Eve; He says:
O Children of Adam! Let not Satan tempt you, lead you astray, that is, do not follow him, lest you fall into temptation, as he caused your parents to go forth from the Garden, by tempting them, stripping them of their garments to manifest to them their shameful parts. Surely he, Satan, sees you, he and his tribe, his army, from where you do not see them, because of their ethereal bodies or their being colorless and invisible. We have made the devils friends, helpers and companions, of those who do not believe.
This verse shows that Satan loves the nakedness of mankind to manifest to your shameful parts; this is an easy way to sin and to commit adultery.
In other words, Allah gives advice mankind and says:
O Children of Adam! Let not Satan, Iblis, (seduce you) make you slip with regard to obeying Me (as he caused your (first) parents) Adam and Eve (to go forth from the Garden and tore off) took away (from them their robe) the robe of light (that he might manifest their shame to them. Lo! he) Iblis (sees you, he and his tribe) his soldiers, (from whence ye see him not) because your breasts are their dwellings. (Lo! We have made the devils protecting friends) helpers (for those who believe not) in Muhammad and in the Quran.
