The practice or activity of banditry; the practice of robbery and plunder by armed groups.
From Spanish 'bandolerismo,' derived from 'bandolero' (bandit) plus '-ismo' (condition or practice suffix). Used in Spanish and Latin American contexts for organized highway robbery.
In Spain and Latin America's Golden Age, 'bandolerismo' was such a widespread problem that famous bandits became folk heroes with ballads written about them—like Robin Hood but often with less noble intentions!
