The word plunder was certainly used last year in the English language, and doubtless it was used more than once the year before. In fact, the word plunder has been around since the 1600's or maybe from even before then.
The earliest record of 'plunder' in written form dates back to 1632, but, of course, it was doubtless already part of the spoken language before it was committed to writing.
'Plunder' is the English form of the Middle High German, plunderen (verb, meaning 'to plunder'), which actually meant 'to take away household furniture'.
Plunder (noun) was then the German word for household goods, clothes, lumber, baggage.
Interestingly, the German words now ...
- for 'rubbish' is Plunder (noun)
- for 'to plunder' is plündern (verb)
- for 'plundering, looting, pillaging, sacking' is Plünderung (noun)
