The English word exorcism comes from the Greek exorkosis,
which means (out-oath). An exorcism is an attempt to evict
demons or spirits from the body of a (normally living) human
being. Belief in exorcism is almost automatic from belief in
demons capable of possessing people. So long as there is a
belief that demons can posses a person, there will be belief
that some people have power over those demons, forcing them
to cease their possession.
