maraudv.

Brit. /məˈrɔːd/, U.S. /məˈrɔd/, /məˈrɑd/
Forms: 1600s–1800s (1800s– Irish English) morode, 1700s marode, 1700s merrode, 1700s– maraud.
Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French marauder.
Etymology: < French marauder to pilfer, to maraud (16th cent. in Middle French) < Middle French maraud rogue, vagabond (c1480 in form marault); further etymology uncertain and disputed.Ultimately from French maraud are Spanish merodear to prowl, to maraud (18th cent.), merodeo prowling, marauding, and German marodieren to maraud, marode worn out with marching (said originally of stragglers belonging to an army), Marode act of marauding, Marodebruder , Marodereiter straggler, deserter. The French words were adopted in German in the 17th cent., and were punningly associated with the name of Count Mérode, an imperialist general in the Thirty Years' War, whose troops were notorious for lack of discipline. The derivatives marauder n. and marauding n. are attested earlier than the verb, but this is perhaps accidental.
