Fusilier was originally the name of a soldier armed with a light flintlock musket called the fusil. The word was first used around 1680, and has later developed into a regimental designation.

Traditionally, the French Army used the title "fusiliers" to designate ordinary role infantry, as opposed to grenadiers and light troops such as voltigeurs and chasseurs
