BURGLE Meaning and Definition

  1. Burgle is a verb that refers to the act of unlawfully entering a building or premises with the intention of committing theft or another crime. This term is commonly used to describe the act of breaking into a residence or commercial property, often during a period when the premises are unoccupied. In essence, it entails unauthorized access to obtain valuable items or to engage in illicit activities.

    When an individual burgles a location, they typically do so by circumventing or forcefully breaking locks, windows, or other security measures. The intention is to clandestinely enter the building with the least amount of attention drawn to their activities. Due to the illegal nature of this act, those who burgle often face severe legal consequences if apprehended.

    Burgle is frequently used interchangeably with terms such as "break in," "rob," or "thieve," but it specifically connotes an illicit entry into a building. It is essential to acknowledge that burgle implies a criminal act and is distinct from lawful means of entering a building or premises. The act of burgling inherently violates the trust and property rights of the owners or occupants and is universally condemned by legal systems and moral codes around the world.

Common Misspellings for BURGLE

Etymology of BURGLE

The word "burgle" is believed to have originated in the late 19th century, around 1872, in Britain. It is derived from the noun "burglar", which itself comes from the Middle English word "burglary", meaning a breach or breaking into a building, ultimately derived from the Old French word "burj", meaning fortress or castle. The noun "burglar" referred to a person who commits burglary, and the verb form "burgle" evolved to describe the act of committing burglary.
