Cách sử dụng
Corsair is a word that used to refer to a pirate or a privateer, which means a person who attacks or loots other ships on the sea. It was popularly used to describe pirates who acted as pirates for the purpose of nationalistic reasons, as they had permission or license from their home country’s government. Thus, corsairs were often seen as patriotic defenders of their homeland. Nowadays, the word "corsair" is rarely used and is considered an old-fashioned term. However, you may hear this term used in a historical context, such as when talking about the pirates of the Caribbean or the Mediterranean Sea.
