róba

Borrowed from German Robe, from French robe, from Frankish *rauba. It seems also related to German Raub (“plunder, loot”), so it originally probably meant "seized clothes".[1]

From Old French robe, robbe, reube (“booty, spoils of war, robe, garment”) (possibly via English robe), from Frankish *rouba, *rauba (“booty, spoils, stolen clothes”, literally “things taken”), from Proto-Germanic *raubō, *raubaz, *raubą (“booty, that which is stripped or carried away”), from Proto-Indo-European *rewp- (“to tear, peel”).
