ourself
Editorial "we" made reflexive
Ourself is a reflexive pronoun used with the royal or editorial "we"—when a single person uses "we" to refer to themselves: We have decided to absent ourself from the proceedings.
It parallels how "myself" works with "I." The standard plural reflexive is "ourselves," used when "we" genuinely refers to multiple people.
