6. Etymology: probably before 1325, compilen, borrowed from Old French compiler, a learned borrowing from Latin compilare, "to steal, to pillage, to plagiarize, to snatch together".

Originally, it meant "pile up"; com-, "together" + pilare, "to press, to compress, to ram down"; from pila, "pile, mass, heap".

As a result, compilare means "to gather for oneself by plundering or stripping from others".

The word first appeared in something related to its modern sense in a nickname applied to the poet Vergil (or Virgil) by an irreverent contemporary who called him compilator, "the plunderer", because of his imitation of Homer and other old authors.

Vergil's full name was Publius Vergilius Maro, who was a Roman poet. His greatest work is the epic poem Aeneid, which tells of the wanderings of the hero Aeneas after the sack of Troy and he was a mythical Greek warrior who was a leader on the Trojan side of the Trojan War.
