<upd_detl>As this is a first edit, I am not fully sure of the syntax/formatting needed (even after reading the quick overview). However, I have added three (of many) sites that define the word as a cursed item/object, seperately from the original definition of fetish. Please let me know if there is anything else necessary, or how to improve edits in the future if I attempt to do so again. 

Additionally, while the first two sources are moreso dictionary style pages, the third source is from an anime/manga wiki that provides context on the word as written in official fanbook material. (Source 1). 

Thank you!</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>Thank you for your contribution. The formatting is fine.
This doesn't look like a separate sense to me. Daijs' entry describes a fetish. And it seems that the 呪物 in Jujutsu Kaisen are fetishes that happen to be cursed.
Probably worth adding a short definition to distinguish it from the sexual meaning.</upd_detl>

wiki: A fetish is an object believed to have supernatural powers, or in particular, a human-made object that has power over others.
