Etymologie

[ 'rOb ] (noun.) 13th century. Middle French robe "robe, garment" from Old French robe "booty, spoils of war", of Germanic origin, from Frankish *rauba, *rouba "booty, spoils, stolen clothes"; literally, "things taken" from Proto-Germanic *raubō, *raubáz, *raubán (“booty, that which is stripped or carried away”) from Proto-Indo-European *reup- (“to tear, peel”). Akin to Old High German roup "booty" (German Raub "robbery, spoils"), Old High German roubōn "to rob, steal" (German rauben), Old English rēafian (“to steal, deprive”). More at rob, reave.
