Wikipedia

Hussar

A hussar ( hə-ZAR, huuz-AR; Hungarian: huszár, Polish: husarz, Serbo-Croatian: husar / хусар) was a member of a class of light cavalry, originating in Central Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. The title and distinctive dress of these horsemen were subsequently widely adopted by light cavalry regiments in European armies during the late 17th and 18th centuries. By the 19th century, hussars were wearing jackets decorated with braid plus shako or busby hats and had developed a romanticized image of being dashing and adventurous.

Several modern armies retain the designation of hussars for armored (tank) units. In addition a number of mounted units survive which wear historical hussar uniforms on parade or while providing ceremonial escorts.

Historically, the term derives from the cavalry of late medieval Hungary, under Matthias Corvinus, with mainly Serb warriors.
