Not very clear

Did you mean "demonic curse"? If so, can you put in a sentence (a full sentence, not a fragment) so we can understand how you want to use this phrase?

A curse is defined as follows:

1. An appeal or prayer for evil or misfortune to befall someone or something.

2. The evil or misfortune that comes in or as if in response to such an appeal. Example: bewailed the curse of ill health.

3. One that is accursed.

4. A source or cause of evil; a scourge. Example: Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.

5. A profane word or phrase; a swearword.

"Curse" is also used as a verb. It means:

1. To invoke evil or misfortune upon; damn.

2. To swear at.

3. To bring evil upon; afflict. Example: He was cursed with crippling arthritis.

4. To put under a ban or an anathema; excommunicate.

5. To utter curses; swear.


"Demonic" is defined as follows:

1. Befitting a demon; fiendish.

2. Motivated by a spiritual force or genius; inspired.

A demon is defined as follows:

1. An evil supernatural being; a devil.

2. A persistently tormenting person, force, or passion. Example: the demon of drug addiction.

3. One who is extremely zealous, skillful, or diligent. Examples: He worked away like a demon. He is a real demon at math.

All the above definitions are from the American Heritage Dictionary

If you are translating from another language, or if you are thinking of a sentence in another language, you can post the sentence in the other language and request help translating it into English (under the proper language pair).

disagree Catherine Norton : I don't believe I can give an opinion with so little of the text and the word "cruse" which could be "curse" or "cruise"?

I believe you. I can't give an opinion either, but I can give word definitions, and some advice about the need for proper context in order to get proper answers. I think that is fair.
agree Michele Johnson : But logically, what's a demonic cruise :) ? More than helpful, especially for an anonymous poster.
