Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the lexical phrase spanilá jízda (“graceful ride”) which refers to the Hussite conquering raids in the 15th century. This collocation was documented for the first time in the 15th century texts. It has since changed, both in lexical form and meaning. The collocation was (v)zpanilá jiezda in Old Czech and originally denoted ‘conquering raids, bringing wealth and power’. Now these words in many cases denote ‘well-organized, systematic, noble-looking activity’ (i.e. sport activity).
