Maraud

Maraud is a verb that means to roam in search of things to steal. Coming almost directly from the French word for ‘rogue,’ our word of the day, along with the more common variation ‘marauder,’ was imported into English in the late 17th century. Here’s an example of maraud in use: Is it just me or are kid’s Halloween costumes getting scarier every year? Last year, when I checked out the group gathered at my door, I expected them to maraud through the streets as soon as they left.
