Word of the Day -- Brigand

If you want to find some of these, look no further than our very own Den of Iniquity...

Brigand -- one who lives by plunder usually as a member of a band.

Brigand shares a root with brigade; both words come from the Italian brigare, meaning “to fight.” If one resembles a brigand one may be described as brigandish, and the word for the practice of engaging in such acts as a brigand is wont to is either brigandism or brigandage.
