A hussar was a cavalry soldier: a man who fought on , usually as a light, fast rider, not in a heavy line of battle. In British English the word names those British cavalry regiments that copied a Hungarian style — short jacket thick with braid, often another jacket hanging from one shoulder, a tall hat. The first famous hussars were Hungarian; France took the name, then Britain took the name and the look. The word is historical now. You meet it in books, museums, and old paintings, not in today’s army lists. It is a precise noun: not every horse soldier is a hussar. There is also a place name Hussar, after soldiers who settled and farmed near a village, but that is the name, not the job.
輕騎兵;驃騎兵(舊時騎兵,英國軍中也有此名;源於匈牙利)
組成Borrowed from French hussard, from Hungarian huszár (a horse soldier), from Serbo-Croatian gusar (a sea raider). From there it comes either from Byzantine Greek or from Italian corsaro, from Medieval Latin cursārius (pirate), from Latin cursus (running), from currō (to run). Corsair and courser are doublets: same old root, different roads into English.
