PLUNDERED Meaning and Definition

1. Plundered is a verb commonly used to describe the act of forcibly taking or stealing valuable goods or resources, typically by force or during times of conflict. It refers to the act of pillaging or looting, often done during war or similar circumstances, where one party seizes possessions, assets, or wealth belonging to another.

Etymology of PLUNDERED

The word "plundered" originated from the Middle Low German word "plündern", meaning "to rob". It was derived from the Old High German word "plundarōn" which had a similar meaning. This Old High German term was ultimately derived from the Latin word "plumbum", meaning "lead". The association with lead is believed to come from thieves stealing lead, which was a valuable material used for roofing and pipes in ancient times. Over time, the term "plundered" evolved to refer to the act of stealing or looting in a more general sense.
