Adjurors

/əˈdʒʊrərz/ noun

Definition

Plural form of adjuror; multiple people who administer oaths or act as oath-takers.

Etymology

Plural of the variant form 'adjuror,' using the standard -s suffix. Reflects legal English's preference for the -or ending in some jurisdictions.

Kelly Says

Medieval legal documents sometimes list 'adjurors' rather than 'adjurers' depending on whether they were translated from Norman French law traditions—the same people, different spellings based on which country's legal system you were in.
