A cutpurse is a thief, a kind of pickpocket. Back in the day, people's clothes did not have pockets built into them. They kept their money in little bags or purses which they tied to their belts. A cutpurse would sneak up on them and cut the strings that held the purse to the belt, take the purse and disappear before the victim knew it was gone.
A cutpurse is a thief who specializes in stealing from people's pockets or purses, typically in crowded areas. They are skilled at stealing without being detected.
"Copped it" is a slang term that is often used to mean being caught or receiving consequences for something, typically in a negative way. It can also mean to obtain or acquire something.
Well they robbed on foot or horse. ( Mostly foot.) They were mainly in Great Britain and Australia. They were in the nineteenth century. They never said Stand and Deliver In America they were known as Road Agents In Australia, they called them bush hangers. They always hid and caught people by surprise. The word Highwaymen was first used in 1617. Robin Hood was also a highwayman, but he never robbed from the rich to give to the poor. It was a male dominated occupation. There were also female highwaymen (Moll Cutpurse, Lady Elizabeth Mullgrew etc) They had their own language, known as cantig.
It seems like you may have misspelled the word. Did you mean "criticize," which means to express disapproval or judgment?
