Origin

Late Middle English (as a grammatical term): from late Latin imperativus (literally 'specially ordered', translating Greek prostatikē enklisis 'imperative mood'), from imperare 'to command', from in- 'towards' + parare 'make ready'.

emperor from Middle English:
The root of emperor is the Latin word imperare ‘to command’, which is also the ultimate source of empire (Middle English), imperative (mid 16th century), imperial (Late Middle English), and imperious (late 16th century). Latin imperator meant ‘military commander’, which was given as a title to Julius Caesar and to Augustus, the first Roman emperor, and was adopted by subsequent rulers of the empire. In English, emperor first referred to these Roman rulers, and then to the head of the Holy Roman Empire. See also evil
