banisher

/bˈænɪʃɚ/ noun

One who banishes.

Word Origin From Old French banir, from Frankish *bannjan 'to proclaim, banish,' from Proto-Germanic bannaną 'to proclaim, forbid.' A banisher is someone who exiles another. The root gives us 'banish,' 'banishment,' and 'contraband' (against the proclamation). The PIE root *bha- meant 'to speak,' so banishing is speaking someone out of the community.
