Exorcist:
denotes
(a) "one who administers an oath;"
(b) "an exorcist" (akin to exorkizo, "to adjure," from orkos, "an oath"), "one who employs a formula of conjuration for the expulsion of demons," Act 19:13. The practice of "exorcism" was carried on by strolling Jews, who used their power in the recitation of particular names.
