Origin

Early 19th century (as a verb): from Hindi lūṭ, from Sanskrit luṇṭh- 'rob'.

Like thug, the word loot has its origins in the experience of the British in India. Soldiers picked it up for ‘valuables plundered from an enemy’ from their Hindi-speaking counterparts—it goes back to a word meaning ‘to rob’ in Sanskrit, the ancient language of northern India. The slang sense ‘money’ developed in the 1940s.
