hexed

Victim of witchcraft

Hexed means cursed or placed under a spell.

Someone hexed has had bad magic worked against them: She believed her ex had hexed her.

The word extends to anything plagued by persistent bad luck: That car is hexed—it breaks down every month.

To hex is to curse; a hex is the curse itself.
