From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   SORCERER
  
      A simple tree {parser generator} by Terence Parr
      .
  
      SORCERER is suitable for translation problems lying between
      those solved by {code generator} generators and by full
      source-to-source translator generators.   SORCERER generates
      simple, flexible, top-down, tree {parser}s that, in contrast
      to code generators, may execute actions at any point during a
      tree walk.   SORCERER accepts {extended BNF} notation, allows
      {predicate}s to direct the tree walk with {semantic} and
      {syntactic} context information, and does not rely on any
      particular intermediate form, parser generator, or other
      pre-existing application.
  
      SORCERER is included in the {Purdue Compiler-Construction Tool
      Set}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Sorcerer
      from the Latin sortiarius, one who casts lots, or one who tells
      the lot of others. (See {DIVINATION}.)
     
         In Dan. 2:2 it is the rendering of the Hebrew mekhashphim,
      i.e., mutterers, men who professed to have power with evil
      spirits. The practice of sorcery exposed to severest punishment
      (Mal. 3:5; Rev. 21:8; 22:15).
