If we are talking about Etymology, then sure it originally meant convicts escaping from prison.  Then it was used by communists in support of anarchism.

In the USA where I grew up, from long before me (1880s) it is a term that means essentially what "classical liberal" means in England.  Because in the US the term "liberal" became synonymous with the political left, so it being widely misunderstood, the old term libertarian was redefined in it's place.
