pillager

[guzhi]

Hi,

What is the difference between 'pillager', 'plunder' and 'looter'?

Thanks!

Probably very little!
Have you tried the define: function in Google?

BTW: In order to be consistent, I think it should be plunderer.

Dictionary.com is my personal favorite....
Although I believe that all of these have about the same meaning (one who steals) , a pillager implies that the person made a raid that involved violence.
