Yes but Hussar meaning as a light cavalry unit has been introduced to western Europe around 18th and 19th century
From 16th to 17th century Hussar often refereed to the elite Polish heavy cavalry units (Sometimes refered to as "Polish Hussars" or "Husaria", having possible origin from the the strong ties with Hungary at that time. When the dawn of Age of Musket has begun, Polish Hussars were wholey ineffective as they were more fit to fight mixed melee/rifle formations and they fell out of dictionary as a heavy cavalry unit - and the term was picked up by Western Powers as a light cavalry unit and through the 19th century was used as that.
In Polish language there's a slight distinction between them - Husaria is the Polish Hussar formation, Husarzy are the more modern 19th century cavalry unit. But the member of the unit is still refered to as "Husar".
