Pronunciation: [ɛkskjˈuːsə] (IPA) 
The English word "excuser" is spelled with the letter "c" in the middle, despite its pronunciation. This is due to the origin of the word in French, from the verb "excuser", which is spelled with "c". In English, the pronunciation changes to "eks-yoo-zer", with the "c" being pronounced like an "s". The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription for "excuser" is /ɪkˈskjuːzər/.
Excuser is a noun that refers to a person who makes excuses or provides justifications for oneself or for someone else's behavior or actions. This term is commonly used to describe someone who habitually or frequently engages in finding reasons to explain or defend certain actions, often with the intention of avoiding blame, criticism, or negative consequences.
An excuser is known for their tendency to rationalize behavior or alleviate guilt by generating or accepting justifications that may not always be grounded in truth or logic. Their actions may be motivated by a variety of reasons, such as fear of accepting responsibility, protecting their own interests or reputation, avoiding punishment or confrontation, or trying to manipulate the perception of others.
In social contexts, an excuser may attempt to defend or explain the actions of their friends, family members, or colleagues, sometimes even to the point of ignoring or downplaying the seriousness of a situation. This can result in an enabling behavior, as the excuser inadvertently supports or condones inappropriate or harmful actions.
The term "excuser" can also be used as a somewhat derogatory label, implying an individual's tendency to repeatedly rely on excuses rather than taking ownership of their behavior or making efforts to rectify a mistake. Overall, an excuser can be identified as someone who frequently resorts to finding reasons to avoid accepting or admitting guilt, often at the expense of truth, accountability, or personal growth.

The word "excuser" originated from the Latin word "excusare", which is a combination of the prefix "ex-" meaning "out" or "free from", and "causa", meaning "cause" or "reason". In Latin, "excusare" referred to the act of offering or finding a reason or excuse to justify or pardon oneself or someone else. Over time, the word evolved and made its way into Old French as "escuser" or "excuser" with a similar meaning. Eventually, it entered Middle English and has been used in its present form "excuser" since the 15th century.
