Arrrr, it's a pirrot party on the good ship AFN
The English "pirate" is derived from the Latin term pirata ("sailor, corsair, sea robber") and that from Greek (peiratēs), "brigand", in turn from (peiráomai), "I attempt", from (peîra), "attempt, experience".[9]
The meaning of the Greek word peiratēs literally is "one who attacks (ships)".[10] This term is first attested to c. 1300.[10] Spelling was not standardised until the eighteenth century, and spellings such as "pirrot", "pyrate" and "pyrat" were used until this period.
