ORIGIN
mid 17th century: from German plündern, literally ‘rob of household goods’, from Middle High German plunder‘household effects’. Early use of the verb was with reference to the Thirty Years War (reflecting German usage); on the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642, the word and activity were associated with the forces under Prince Rupert.
