Why Are Pirates Called Pirates?

They are also known in modern times as Democrats

"The word "pirate" traces back to the Ancient Greek peiratēs (πειρατής), meaning "brigand" or "one who attacks". This ultimately derives from the Greek verb peiran (πειρᾶν), meaning "to try, risk, or attempt". Therefore, a pirate was originally literally interpreted as "an adventurer" or "one who attempts things.""
