curser

/kˈɜsɚ/ noun

One who curses.

Word Origin From Old English curs 'curse,' which surprisingly shares a PIE root *kers- 'to run' with course and cursor. The idea might be that a curse is something 'run' or sent forth, like a spell hurled at someone. A curser is one who sends these verbal missiles. The same root gives us current (running), occur (run to), recur (run back), and cursory (running quickly). So cursing is like running words at someone.
