/tsɑr/

Forms: Also 1600s zarr, czaar, czarr, ksar, 1700s– tzar.

Etymology: Romanized spellings of Russian tsarⁱ, in Bulgarian tsar king, sovereign emperor, Serbian tsar emperor, Croatian, Bohemian, Polish car (= tsar, c in the Roman Slavonic orthography = Ц in Cyrillic, being pronounced ts or German z). The Russian form is reduced from earlier (11th cent.) tsⁱsarⁱ = Old Slavonic tsêsarⁱ, in oblique cases tsⁱsar-, ‘Cæsar, emperor, βασιλεύς, king’, also (in latter senses) tsarⁱ. (In Russian, the full form tsesarⁱ is retained in the sense ‘Cæsar’ and ‘(ancient Roman) emperor’; compare Serbian tsesar applied to the German emperor, but tsar to the Russian tsar and the Sultan. The Slavonic word ultimately represents Latin Caesar , but came, according to Miklosich, through the medium of a Germanic language in which the word had the general sense ‘emperor’: compare Gothic kaisar , Old High German keisar , Old Low German kêsar , Old Norse keysari , whence also Finnish keisari , Estonian keiser , keisri . For the change of Germanic k to c = ts in Slavonic, compare church n.¹ and adj. The spelling with cz- is against the usage of all Slavonic languages; the word was so spelt by Herberstein, Rerum Moscovit. Commentarii 1549, the chief early source of knowledge as to Russia in Western Europe, whence it passed into the Western Languages generally; in some of these it is now old-fashioned; the usual German form is now zar; French adopted tsar during the 19th cent. This also became frequent in English towards the end of that century, having been adopted by the Times newspaper as the most suitable English spelling.

a. Historical. The title of the autocrat or emperor of Russia; historically, borne also by Serbian rulers of the 14th cent., as the Tsar Stephen Dushan.In Russia it was partially used by the Grand Duke Ivan III, 1462–1505, and by his son Basil or Vasiliĭ, but was formally assumed by Ivan IV in 1547. According to Herberstein its actual sense in Russian was ‘king’, but it was gradually taken as = ‘emperor’, a sense which it had in other Slavonic languages. Peter the Great introduced the title imperator ‘emperor’, and the official style shortly before the Revolution of 1917 was ‘Emperor of all the Russias, Tsar of Poland, and Grand Duke of Finland’; but the Russian popular appellation was still tsar.
