exorciser

/ɛɡ.zɔʁ.si.ze/ noun

One who performs an exorcism.

Word Origin 'Exorcise' is from Greek 'exorkizein', literally 'to bind by oath' — to drive out a spirit by commanding it under oath. An 'exorciser' is one who does that. The root 'horkos' (oath) is the key: the exorcist binds the demon by a sacred oath. The same root gives us 'exorcism' and 'exorcist'. So an exorciser is an oath-binder, casting out by the power of a vow.
