The word formed as a contraction of "domnia voastră", literally "your lordship". "Domnia" comes from Latin dominus, meaning lord or master. Over time Romanian speakers fused the phrase into a single word and used it as a polite substitute for the plain pronoun "you". The result works for one person or several, always paired with plural verb forms.
