noun exorcists
- A person, especially a priest or priestess, who is a practitioner in exorcism to force out evil spirits or demons from a living being. There came, too, an exorcist to banish him. When he began his conjuration with his magic words, Hinzelmann was at first quite quiet, and did not let himself be heard at all, but when he was going to read the most powerful sentences against him, he snatched the book out of his hand, tore it to pieces
