To commit burglary; to break into a building illegally and steal from it.
Shortened form of 'burglary' used as a verb; came into common use in the late 1800s as a more casual way to say commit burglary.
Burgle is beautifully lazy English—instead of saying 'he committed burglary,' you can just say 'he burgled the house,' turning a noun into a verb with pure Germanic efficiency.
