I was thinking about how it might be better to translate the 'horcrux' to Russian.
In the dubbed movie and, I suppose, in the not of the best translations of the books, they used the word 'крестраж'. What's that 'крестраж'? People don't understand it. People don't like it. Obviously, translators bounced from the part 'crux', one of its meanings 'cross' like 'the Southern Cross' ('cross' is 'крест' in Russian). But what one has to do with 'hor', and why it went for 'раж' in translation? We have the expression 'входить в раж' = 'enter into the condition of раж (a mental state of frenzy or extasy)'. So, 'the cross in the state of wild extasy'? Well, the meaning is not so much evident. It's not the deal.
If to take the part 'hor' it may be 'hore' or for its sounding 'whore' or 'hoar' las in 'horefrost', in another words - something chilly, contemptuous, and ugly from the darkest part of the world.
And what's with the 'crux'? Besides 'cross' it also has the meaning of 'basic', 'core' and 'central' as 'the crux of the matter' with the synonym of 'heart', which was skipped in Russian translation.
So, 'horcrux' is the 'darkest chill, contempt, and ugliness of the heart'. That's the original meaning. The splinter of one's soul, who has committed murder for that very purpose.
The best equivalent of it is 'окаянт' as Brian has used it. The word is artificially made from 'окаянный' = dammed, cursed.
