Quote:Think top-hat as opposed to ele-phant. That's it :wink: Quote:Thus GUY-us YOO-li-us KAY-sar (which helps you see how the Germans got Kaiser and the Russians Tsar from the same word). And 'Tsar' comes from 'Caesar' but in later Latin the 'c' was no longer pronounced as 'k' but 'ts' like in todays Italian. And an 's' between two vocals tends to disappear... So: Tsesar > Tsar
