[This word first appeared in Old English, with roughly the same meaning, but does not appear to be of Germanic origin, and its origin is actually unknown. Per https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/curse , its origin is "Old English, of unknown origin." Specifically for the noun, per http://etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=curse , its origin is: "late Old English curs 'a prayer that evil or harm befall one,' of uncertain origin, perhaps from Old French curuz 'anger,' or Latin cursus 'course.' Connection with cross is unlikely. No similar word exists in Germanic, Romance, or Celtic" (inside double-quotes replaced with single-quotes; emphasis added). German uses Fluch (n.) and verfluchen (vb.) for "curse", and all non-English West Germanic languages use cognates of this; while the North Germanic languages seem to use cognates of the rarely used English word forban "to banish"/"banishment".]
