略奪
りゃくだつ · ryakudatsu · JLPT N1 · noun
loot
💰 略 (plunder) + 奪 (seize) = pillage: taking goods by force
Both kanji stress taking by force: 略 here means plunder (not its usual 'abbreviate' sense), and 奪 means snatch or seize. Together they name looting or robbery.
略 — field 田 + each 各 (phonetic)
略 is a semantic-phonetic compound: 田 'field' gives the meaning and 各 supplies the sound. It originally referred to surveying or marking out fields and territory, then extended to 'plan, strategy' and 'seize/conquer.' From there it broadened to the modern senses 'outline, brief, omit, slightly.'
