the worthless word for the day is: direptitious

obs. rare
(after surreptitious, f. L. direption, the sacking
or pillaging of a town, f. diripere, to tear asunder)
characterized by plundering or pillaging
hence direptitiously

"The grants surreptitiously and direptitiously
obtained." - R. Bowyer (recorded by Strype from 1532)
