banishers

Those who oust

Banishers are those who banish—who expel, drive away, or force into exile.

The word appears most often in fantasy contexts, where banishers dispel demons, spirits, or dark forces: The banishers performed the ritual at midnight.

In historical or political contexts, banishers are authorities who send people into exile.
