PLUNDER

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 856 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PLUNDER , to rob, to pillage, especially in war. The word came into
English
  usage directly from Ger. plundern (derived from a substantive Plunder meaning "
household
  stuff," bed-clothes, clothing, &c.), particularly with reference to the pillaging of the Thirty Years' War.
Thomas
  May (History"'of the
Long
 
Parliament
 , 1647; quoted in the New
English
  Dictionary) says: " Many Tonnes and Villages he (Prince
Rupert
 ) plundered, which is to say robb'd, for at that time first was the word plunder used in England, being borne in
Germany
 ." The New English Dictionary's earliest
quotation
  is from the Swedish Intelligencer
(1632).
