† ˈkaser Obs.
Forms: 1 caser, 1–2 (5) casere, 1–3 kasere, 3 kaserr, 5 kasar, 7 cazard.
[OE. cásere, repr. the Comm. Teut. type kaisar, ad. L. Cæsar or Gr. καῖσαρ, the ai giving OE. á, as in native words. The southern ME. form would have been cōser; but the word is known only in the northern form, having been early supplanted by the newer adoptions Kaiser and Cæsar.
The ending is conformed to the -ere of agent-nouns like dómere, bócere, etc.; cf. ON. keisari. But the Lindisf. Gosp. Gloss. has caser as dat. and acc. (dat. also casere, -eri, -ari), and in the genitive cæsares, casseres, cessares.]
The Emperor, an emperor; = Kaiser.
