Definition of Hussite
noun
- a member or follower of the religious movement begun by John Huss. After Huss’s execution the Hussites took up arms against the Holy Roman Empire and demanded a set of reforms that anticipated the Reformation. Most of the demands were granted 1436, and a church was established that remained independent of the Roman Catholic Church until 1620.
