The Latin term pirata, from which the English "pirate" is derived ultimately from Greek peira (ÏείÏα) "attempt, experience", implicitly "to find luck on the sea". The word is also cognate to peril. In 17th and 18th century sources the word is often rendered "pyrate."

The term pirate comes from the latin Pirata which basically means to attempt or experience luck at sea in the 18th century it was written "Pyrate".

some people r serious arent they lol heres a slightly bad one too:
A ship captain always asks for his red shirt when he sights a pirate ship, and he always wins in battle against them. His first mate asks him why he always wants the red shirt and the captain replies, ''Because if I get wounded, you won't see the blood and you'll keep on fighting.'' The next day, a whole fleet of pirate ships attack and the first mate says, ''Give me my brown pants!''

pirate (n.)
1254, from O.Fr. pirate, from L. pirata "sailor, sea robber," from Gk. peirates "brigand, pirate," lit. "one who attacks," from peiran "to attack, make a hostile attempt on, try," from peira "trial, an attempt, attack," from PIE base *per- "try" (cf. L. peritus "experienced," periculum "trial, experiment, risk, danger," see peril). Meaning "one who takes another's work without permission" first recorded 1701; sense of "unlicensed radio broadcaster" is from 1913. The verb is first recorded 1574.

The act of 'Piracy' is committed by what are termed as 'Pirates,' just as burglaries are committed by 'Burglars'; and robberies by 'Robbers,' murders by Murderers, rape by Rapist, arson by Arsonists - etc.
Mmm! What else would you want to call Pirates then? 'Mobile Social Workers,' perhaps ? (in their actions of helping to redistribute wealth..!)
Sash.

Pirate is from the old French word pirate... from the Latin word pirata "sailor, sea robber," and from the Greek word peirates meaning "brigand, pirate," literally "one who attacks,"
