Noun

tsar (plural tsars)

1. (historical) An emperor of Russia (1547 to 1917) and of some South Slavic states.
2. (figuratively) A person with great power; an autocrat.

Usage notes

• (emperor of Russia): Officially, emperors after 1721 were styled imperator (?????????? (imperátor)) rather than tsar (???? (car?)), but the latter term is still commonly applied to them.
• The term sometimes refers to other emperors, besides those of Russia, e.g. the monarch of Bulgaria (1908-1946).
• The spelling czar is the most common one in the US, especially in figurative and informal senses. Scholarly literature prefers tsar.
