| 释义 | tsarczarn. 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.
