Usage Note
Fuorilegge is an invariable noun — the singular and plural forms are identical: un fuorilegge, due fuorilegge. It can be used as an adjective ('outlaw band') as well as a noun. The compound combines fuori (outside) + legge (law), so the literal sense is 'outside the law.'
Examples
"Il fuorilegge fu catturato dalla polizia."
Natural Translation
The outlaw was captured by the police.
