smiters
Those who strike
Smiters are people who smite—who strike or attack with force.
The word appears almost exclusively in religious or literary contexts, particularly biblical translations where God or divine agents smite the wicked: The angel was a smiter of the firstborn.
Outside such contexts, the word sounds archaic or deliberately elevated.
