- 1強盜、土匪（尤指攔路搶的；電影裡也常這麼叫）
A bandit is a , especially one who works with a group and attacks people on the road. In old stories, bandits wait in the hills or the forest and stop . In the news the word can still mean an armed , sometimes with a film-like feel. It is a little old-fashioned or dramatic in everyday British and American English — thief and are the plain words — but games and movies love it. Though actually, the first meaning is not “a member of a band.” It comes from an Italian word for a person who has been banned: pushed outside the law. A bandit is an outlaw. That is why a lone bandit is still a bandit, with no group at all.
From the word’s history
From Italian bandito 'outlawed', from bandire 'to ban', from Late Latin bannīre, from Frankish *bannan.
借自義大利文 bandito「被放逐的」，來自 bandire「下禁令」。
組成Borrowed from Italian bandito, “outlawed,” from the verb bandire, “to ban.” That goes back to Late Latin and to Frankish *bannan, “to ban.” Bandito is a doublet: a sister word that entered English by a slightly different path.
