#2 Mugger is derived from the Hindi magar, a type of crocodile that lurks in hiding for weak or altogether helpless victims.

But my first though went to "thugs" which is derived from the Hindi thag, meaning thief. "Thugees", of Indiana Jones fame, strangled thousands of people with special yellow scarves as a form of devotion to the Hindu goddess Kali.

I guess I watch too many movies.
