Cách sử dụng
A highwayman was a robber who would hide on country roads and wait for travelers to pass by. They would then hold them up, demand money or goods, and sometimes harm them. The term is mostly used in historical contexts, as highwaymen were most prevalent in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, the term may be used to refer to any robber who targets people traveling on roads, but it is still largely associated with its historical context.
