One who crucifies or who causes crucifixion; a person responsible for executing someone by crucifixion.
From 'crucify' (from Latin 'crucifigere,' to fasten to a cross) plus '-er' (agent suffix meaning 'one who does'). A historical term primarily found in religious or historical contexts.
The word 'crucifier' appears in historical texts about Roman executions and in religious writings about the crucifixion of Jesus, but it's become almost archaic because it directly names someone doing something we now find abhorrent—language sometimes avoids words that are too directly connected to horror.
