A spoken curse or the action of calling down a curse or evil upon someone.
From Latin 'imprecatio,' from 'imprecari' meaning 'to pray against,' from 'in-' (upon) and 'precari' (to pray). Originally, it was literally praying for evil to befall someone.
Think 'I'm praying for bad things' - it's like prayer in reverse! Instead of asking for blessings, you're calling down curses. It's prayer with negative energy.
