esecutore

executor, performer

noun eh-zeh-koo-TOH-reh Rare
Arts & Culture Music

Origin: From Latin executor, agent noun of exsequi (to carry out).

Also means

executioner

Usage Note

Esecutore has two distinct domains: in music it means 'performer' (esecutore di brani classici), while in law it means 'executor of a will' (esecutore testamentario). The feminine form is esecutrice. Be careful: in historical or dramatic contexts it can also mean 'executioner', though boia is the more common term for that.

Examples

"L'esecutore ha suonato il brano con maestria."

Natural Translation

The performer played the piece with mastery.
