Etimologie (Engels)

Verwante met Old English: cāsere

Verwante met Middle English: keiser

In summary

From Latin Caesar. Displaced Old English cāsere, which would have yielded *caser, *coser, and Middle English keiser, kaiser, from Old Norse and continental Germanic languages. All ultimately from the same Latin root. (See also Kaiser and tsar.)
