Buccaneer

Originally, a hunter of wild cattle in Hispaniola; later, a pirate or privateer operating in the Caribbean during the 17th century. In admiralty law, buccaneers occupied an ambiguous legal status between legitimate privateers and outright pirates.

Etymology: French 'boucanier' (one who smokes meat on a boucan), from Tupi 'mukem' (wooden frame for smoking meat) · Category: Admiralty Law · Source: Exquemelin, 'The Buccaneers of America' (1678)
