Curious about the once again omni-present word "looter," I looked up the etymology. I was.. surprised! Without looking, where does the word come from?

From the hindi/urdu word for, well looting. The British not only took the loot (from India) with them, but also the word. The sun never set on the British empire because even God couldn't trust them in the dark.
