Etymology

The word 'pursuer' originates from the late Middle English term 'pursuour,' which itself derives from the Old French 'poursuivre,' meaning 'to follow, pursue.' This French word comes from the Latin 'pursuฤ•re,' a compound of 'per-' (meaning 'through' or 'by') and 'sequi' (meaning 'to follow'). The use of 'pursuer' in English has historically encompassed a wide range of applications, from law enforcement tracking down criminals to literary portrayals of characters who follow their desires tenaciously. Over time, the connotation of the word has developed to imply not only a physical pursuit but also the figurative chasing of dreams, ambitions, and goals.
