Etymology
The term 'robing' derives from the Middle English word 'roben', itself stemming from the Old French 'rober', which means to seize or take by force. The roots of 'rober' can be traced further back to the Latin 'rapere', meaning to snatch or seize. Over the centuries, the concept of robing evolved to encompass not just theft but also the connotation of violence or threat associated with taking someone's possessions against their will. As language evolved, variations of the term became common in legal jargon and continue to be employed in discussions of crime and morality.
