Living as I do, approx. 650 miles from the nearest seacoast, pirates are not exactly a frequent topic of conversation for me, so I find all this information very interesting. I am still rather shocked when it comes into my awareness that there are pirates now; but then I think, "Well, robbery is robbery, I guess."
I had to look up Morisco; here's Onelook's quick def.:
(a.) Moresque.
(n.) A thing of Moorish origin; as: (a) The Moorish language. (b) A Moorish dance, now called morris dance. Marston. (c) One who dances the Moorish dance. Shak. (d) Moresque decoration or architecture.
(This definition is from the 1913 Webster's Dictionary and may be outdated.)
