a thief with branding, robbing you blind while somehow keeping your respect.
means A robber or outlaw, especially one who attacks travelers or operates outside the law in groups.
from From Italian 'bandito,' meaning 'banned' or 'outlawed' — literally one who has been put under a 'bando,' a public proclamation declaring him an outlaw. The root traces back to a Germanic-influenced Latin sense of 'banning' or 'commanding.' So a bandit was, quite precisely, a man the authorities had officially shooed out of society, who then took to the hills and made a living the only way the banned can: by taking.
