Bandit
Popularized in Henry IV Part 2“ | Come, soldiers, show what cruelty ye can, | |
That this my death may never be forgot! | ||
Great men oft die by vile bezonians: | ||
A Roman sworder and banditto slave | ||
Murder'd sweet Tully; Brutus' bastard hand | ||
Stabb'd Julius Caesar; savage islanders | ” |
Um, banditto? Sounds Italian to us. Oh—that's because it is…via Latin, of course. This word turned into bandit, a regular ol' outlaw. |
