Caedo, caedere, cecidi, caesumto cut, kill {chis, cid, cis, -cide} Caesar, CaesarisCaesar

When one makes a decision, one must cut off or cut away all other possibilities to arrive at a judgment. Caesar was either a reference to being reputedly cut from his mothers womb, the first recorded cesarean section, or to his full head of hair, a jocular cognomen since most busts of Caesar show him to be balding, his hair cut away.
