In the french page on the subject, they mention the etymology of "the one who talks",
Along the same general lines, can't "Imperator" be translated loosely as "commander-in-chief"? After his victory in the Civil War, Casear didn't use any regular title. He simply signed orders "Iulius Caesar, Imperator."
Yes, indeed - it seems "Imperator" is a title given to *"victorious generals when they return from a military campaign"* according to french wikipedia http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperator_(titre) also interesting to note, when reading the english page of wikipedia, that the title was used mostly in the "principate" and the "dominate" ( the last periods of the Roman "Empire" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominate The *Dominate* was the "despotic <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Despotism>" latter phase of government in the ancient Roman Empire<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Empire> from the conclusion of the Third Century Crisis<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crisis_of_the_Third_Century> of 235–284 until the formal date of the collapse of the Western Empire<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Roman_Empire> in AD 476.
