An alternative spelling or variant of czar; an autocratic ruler or person with absolute power in a specific domain.
Variant of czar, which comes from Russian tsar, ultimately from Latin Caesar. The c-z spelling variation reflects different transliteration choices from Cyrillic script into English.
There are at least four English spellings of the same Russian word (czar, tsar, tzar, cizar), which shows how messy it is to borrow words from other alphabets—different people just made different choices.
