The term "czar" is derived from the Latin word "Caesar," which was used to refer to Roman emperors. The title was adopted in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, to signify authority and sovereignty, reflecting the influence of the Roman Empire. The Byzantine Empire, as a continuation of the Roman legacy, also played a role in the adoption of this term in Slavic contexts.
