About This Root

From Latin domus (house, home) and dominus (master, lord). Dual meaning runs through English: the "house" branch gives domestic, domicile, and dome; the "master" branch gives dominate, domain, and dominion. The suffix -dom (kingdom, freedom) comes from the Germanic side but shares the idea of a ruled territory.
