rob 抢劫

来自 PIE*rueb,*reup,抓，抢，词源同 rape,rip,rupture.

rob: rob: [13] Rob goes back ultimately to a prehistoric Germanic *raub- ‘break’ (a close relative of the Latin base rup- ‘break’, which has given English rout, route, and rupture). This produced Old English rēafian ‘rob’, which although it has now died out has left us its derivative bereave [OE], and also Middle Dutch rōven ‘rob’, which gave English rover ‘pirate’ [14]. It was also borrowed into Old French as robber, which is the source of modern English rob. Other English descendants of the Germanic base are robe, rubbish, and rubble.
=> bereave, corrupt, disrupt, robe, rout, route, rover, rubbish, rubble, rupture
rob (v.): late 12c., from Old French rober "rob, steal, pillage, ransack, rape," from West Germanic *rauba "booty" (cognates: Old High German roubon "to rob," roub "spoil, plunder;" Old English reafian, source of the reave in bereave), from Proto-Germanic *raubon "to rob," from PIE *reup-, *reub- "to snatch" (see rip (v.)).
