Borrowed from BritishMedieval Latin burglātor, from Old French burgeor(“burglar”), from Medieval Latin burgātor(“burglar”), from burgō(“to commit burglary”), from Late Latin burgus(“fortified town”), probably from Frankish *burg(“fortress”), from Proto-Germanic *burgz, *burgiją(“borough, watch-tower”). The -l- may have been inserted under influence from Latin latro(“thief”).


etymonline

ref

burglar (n.)

"one who commits robbery by breaking into a house," 1540s, shortened from Anglo-Latin burglator (late 13c.), earlier burgator, from Medieval Latin burgator "burglar," from burgare "to break open, commit burglary," from Latin burgus "fortress, castle," a Germanic loan-word akin to borough.

The unetymological -l- is perhaps from influence of Latin latro "thief" (see larceny). Middle English had burgur (c. 1200), from Old French burgeor, burgur, also housbreker (c. 1400). Burglar-alarm is by 1840.
