To plunder means to steal goods by force, especially during a war or a raid, taking whatever you want from a place because no one can stop you. As a noun, "plunder" is the stolen goods themselves. The word is also used more loosely today, without any violence, to describe taking or using too much of something, like a company "plundering" natural resources or a manager "plundering" the company's funds.
