Re: The True Pirate Mystery


got this from wikipedia:

The Latin term pirata, from which the English "pirate" is derived, derives ultimately from Greek peira "attack, attempt", cognate to peril.

but frankly, those boys in oxford would know a whole lot more about it. have you tried the unabridged dictionary from there?
