injurer

/ˈɪndʒjʊɹɹɚ/ noun

One who injures something.

Word Origin Injurer comes from Latin 'jus' 'law, right' — so to injure is literally 'to do wrong, to violate someone's right.' The prefix in- here means 'not,' so an injury is an injustice. The same root gives us 'just' (rightful), 'jury' (a group sworn to give a just verdict), and 'jurisdiction' (the right to speak the law). An injurer is one who commits that wrong.
