Root Explanation

Domain → It originates from the Latin word 'dominium' (meaning ownership or control), which is derived from 'domus' (meaning house or home). The word 'domain' refers to an area of control or ownership, often in the context of land or territory.

Memory Tip

Think of 'domus' meaning house, which helps you remember that a domain is an area or territory that is under someone's control, like a house is under the ownership of its owner.
