Piracy has as definition the act of robbery or criminal violence at the sea. The people who is engange in this acts are called PIRATES.

The history of piracy dates back more than 3000 years, but its accurate account depends on the actual 
meaning of the word ‘pirate’.
 A meaning was first ascribed to the word piracy sometime before the XVII century. It appears that the word pirate (peirato) was first used in about 140 BC by the Roman historian Polybius.

We can think that the piracy has existed as long as the humans we're transported in boats. But in realilty the first documented instances of piracy are the exploits of the Sea Peoples who threatened the Aegean and Mediterranean in the 13th century BC. So this make us realize that really the pirates started as simply  thiefs but the characteristic that they attacked boats on shores or in the sea defines them. Also they had a very descriptive language between them they used some colloquial language.
