Plural of marauder: people who travel around attacking and robbing others, usually in groups.
From French 'marauder,' possibly from 'maraud' (to plunder), with uncertain ultimate origin—possibly related to 'maraud' or Germanic roots. First appeared in English in the 16th century describing raiders and bandits.
Marauders became so famous in fiction (think 'The Marauders Map' in Harry Potter) that we often forget they were actual historical problems—medieval Europe was plagued by roving bands of soldiers turned bandits after wars ended.
