Etymology

Often taken as borrowed from Old High German keisar, from Proto-West Germanic *kaisar, from Proto-Germanic *kaisaraz, from Latin Caesar, though borrowing from Old Norse keisari (from Old Saxon *keisari, from the same Proto-West Germanic source) has sometimes been posited instead; Dance prefers this on the basis of forms with final /ə/ (traditionally explained as assimilation to the synonym casere), asserting that those without it come from syncope before the final /s/ in the plural which was then levelled into the singular, while Björkman hypothesises a blend of both etymologies. See: Latin Nouns 'Caesar', Old Norse Nouns 'keisari'.
