[edit] Etymology

Leaving that aside what do you think about the Romanian word hânsar as a possible etymology for hussar??? The above site says that the word hânsar comes from latin "cursores". Could this etymology be correct, that is it comed into Romanian from early latin, or more probable from the Byzantine cursores, meaning "raiders", which were part of the so called cavarly detachment kabalarioi (see [1]). And what about the common root with the Romanian armăsar??? I`ve read many times arguments which says that the etymology of armăsar is not from latin admisarius, but that it was borrowed to latin from dacian/sarmatian...

e.g.:

armăsar (D) = admissarius (L) = armăsar. Armăsar este compus din cuvintele dace “armă” şi “sar”, desemnând calul (vezi samsar) care transportă un om înarmat. Corespondentul latin nu mai păstrează forma compusă, aceasta indicând că a fost preluat şi latinizat cu sufixul “us”. La fel a fost preluat în latină şi cuvântul armă ca “arma”.

Any connection? What do you think? (except that I have a probable protochronism crisis, in which case please don`t answer...) Anyway, I hope the site is usefull for this article... greier 11:21, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
