(see senses)

Forms: Middle English conjurere, Middle English conjeroure, 1500s conjuroure, (1500s cowngerar, cunngerer), Middle English– conjurer, 1500s– conjuror.

Etymology: < Latin conjūrātor, -ōrem, regularly became in Old French conjuˈrere , conjureˈor (later -eur , Anglo-Norman -our ).

The latter represents Anglo-Norman conjurour , and has come down as conjuror : the former may possibly represent the Old French nominative conjurere , but is more probably a native formation in -er suffix¹; it has come down as conjurer.
