Brit. /ɪmˈpɛrətrʌɪs/, /ɪmˈpɛrətrᵻs/, U.S. /ᵻmˈpɛrətrəs/, /ᵻmˈpɛrəˌtraɪs/
Forms:

β. 1600s impratrice, 1800s impératrice, 1500s (Scottish) 1900s– imperatrice.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Apparently partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: empress n.; French impératrice.
Etymology: In α. forms apparently a partial remodelling of empress n. after classical Latin imperātrīc-, imperātrīx imperatrix n.; with the ending compare forms at empress n. and compare also -trice suffix. In β. forms < French impératrice (16th cent. in Middle French) < classical Latin imperātrīc- , imperātrīx imperatrix n.
Now chiefly in contexts relating to France or French speakers.
= empress n.
