The word "czar" (also spelled "Tsar") is a historical title that referred to a Russian or Slavic ruler, such as a king, queen or emperor. These days, the word also has a political meaning, referring to an aide to the president who is in charge of a particular project in the government, such as the "Green Energy Czar." By the way, there is an internet rumor that President Obama has the most czars of any president-- but this is false. He has no more (and many fewer) "czars" than other presidents who came before him. Note also that the term "czar" is slang-- there is no such title in the government; the word itself has been used by the media and by politicians for more than fifty years.
