Verb: To kidnap or capture. In [particular] to throw a bag or cloth over the head and bundle the victim away. The term was coined by John Masefield in "The Midnight Folk", [published] in 1827, and is used extensively in the "Box of Delights", [published] in 1937, where Cole Hawlings is 'scrobbled' by throwing a black bag over his head and bundling him into a car. Neil Gaiman also used scrobbling in the same sense in “Neverwhere”, published in 1996. Gaiman acknowledges the Box of Delights as the origin of the word.
