Etymology

Domeniu came into Romanian from French domaine, which descends from Latin dominium, meaning lordship or ownership. The Latin root is dominus, lord or master, the same word that gives English dominion and dominate. Over time the meaning widened from land under a lord's control to any bounded area of activity or knowledge.
