A cursor is a small mark or symbol that shows where something will happen on a computer screen. It may look like an arrow when it points to items, or like a blinking vertical line where you can type words. You use a computer mouse or trackpad or your keyboard to move your cursor around.
The word comes from a Latin word meaning "runner," because a cursor moves across the screen.
