Plunder can mean stolen goods or money obtained illegally， like plunder that thieves hide somewhere， or the act of taking those things — a burglar who plunders the jewelry store.
Plunder is an old Middle High German word that originally meant "household goods and clothes": in other words， your stuff. During the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648)， English speakers acquired this word while fighting in the land that is today Germany， but with the added meaning of taking the plunder as， well， plunder. As both a noun and verb， a synonym for plunder is loot.
