What does HUSSAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A soldier in a light cavalry regiment, originally modelled on Hungarian horsemen.
The hussar began as a Hungarian irregular horseman of the fifteenth century, and other armies later copied both the role and the showy uniform. Braided jackets, fur-trimmed pelisses and tall caps made hussars the most colourful soldiers of European parades. Some regiments still keep the title today, though the men no longer ride into battle.
