Etymology
Of Germanic origin, from Frankish *raubōn, roubōn (“to rob”) (compare Medieval Latin raubo (“I rob”), from the same Germanic source), from Proto-Germanic *raubōną (“to rob, carry off the spoils of”), from Proto-Indo-European *reup- (“to tear, peel”). Akin to Old High German roubōn (“to rob, to steal”) (German rauben (“to rob”)), Old English rēafian (“to steal, deprive”). More at rob, reave, rip off.
