Plural of cursor; small movable objects or pointers, especially the blinking indicator on a computer screen that shows where text will appear.
From Latin 'cursor' meaning 'runner,' derived from 'currere' (to run). The term was adapted in computing to describe a fast-moving pointer that 'runs' across the screen.
The computer cursor is named after Roman messengers called 'cursores' who ran between military camps—both literally and digitally move quickly across a space to deliver or indicate information!
