"闯入房屋抢劫的人",1540年代,缩写自盗贼拉丁语 burglator(13世纪后期),早期为 burgator,源自中世纪拉丁语 burgator "盗贼",来自拉丁语 burgare "破门而入,犯罪",源自日耳曼语借词 borough 的拉丁语 burgus "堡垒,城堡"。
非词源学的 -l- 可能来自拉丁语 latro "小偷"(见 larceny)。中古英语有 burgur(约1200年),源自古法语 burgeor, burgur,也有 housbreker(约1400年)。Burglar-alarm 于1840年出现。
Anglo-French burgler, from Medieval Latin burglator, probably alteration of burgator, from burgare to commit burglary
