Forms: 1500s–1700s prosecuter, 1500s– prosecutor, 1600s prosecutour, 1600s prosquutter (Scottish).

Etymology: Apparently partly < classical Latin prōsecūtor person who escorts, in post-classical Latin also person who institutes legal proceedings (6th cent.), person who carries out (1301 in a British source) < prōsecūt- , past participial stem of prōsequī prosecute v. + -or -or suffix, and partly < prosecute v. + -or suffix. Compare Middle French prosecuteur defender (15th cent.).With the form prosecuter , compare -er suffix¹. This spelling is also attested sparingly in modern use, perhaps simply as an error for the present word.
