Menage notices the derivaMARAUDER. tion of this word from a Comte Merodes, who commanded in the armies of Ferdinand II.; but Duchat shows that it existed long before. Cotgrave has marauder, to beg, to play the rogue, or idle vagabond. Skinner (in v. Marrow,) says that maraude in Fr. denotes a beggar or vagabond; and derives it, improbably enough, from the Ger. Mare, a mare, and ald, a servant; q. d. a mean servant, who takes care of horses, a groom. It is not improbably formed upon the verb, To mar. To go on a marauding party, is to go in search of pillage or plunder. Some place decoys, nor will they not avail, To form or constitute, to be placed or situated upon, the bounding mark, or line of demarcation; to confine, to bound or border upon.
