Accepted Answer

[dɪ'spɔɪl] 
despoilsteal goods; take as spoils
Despoil is to spoil, only worse. You may spoil a dinner party by being late, but we all despoil the earth with pollution and over-consumption.
The Latin root of despoil meant "to strip or rob" and although despoil is used more broadly now, it has that sense within it. When we despoil the earth, we rob it of its beauty and strip it of its natural resources. In the same way, invading armies despoil villages by wrecking their houses and raping, or despoiling, the women in them: robbing both of their beauty and innocence.
