Etymology:
Meaning: A member of a band of robbers, thieves, or pirates.
Origin: The word "brigand" originates from the Proto-Celtic root *brig, which means "power" or "strength." In medieval Latin, the term "briganta" referred to a band of robbers or warriors who engaged in fighting or pillaging.
The French word "brigand" and the Italian word "brigante" evolved from the medieval Latin form, and were both used to describe robbers, bandits, or outlaws. Over time, the term "brigand" came to be associated specifically with members of lawless gangs that operated in rural areas or along trade routes.
