The answer
CURSE
What curse means
A solemn or angry expression of desire that something bad will happen to someone, or a word or phrase considered offensive or profane.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *curs* or *curse*, likely borrowed from Old Norse *kursa* (to curse) or Old French *curser*. The Old French term may derive from Latin *cursus*, meaning "course" or "running," possibly through the notion of pronouncing words in sequence against someone. The word has been used in English since around the 12th century to mean both a spoken invocation of evil and a state of misfortune.
