Origin

Early 16th century (in sense 3 of the noun): from Latin domus; other senses are via French dôme, from Italian duomo 'cathedral, dome'.

Latin domus ‘house’ entered English directly as dome in the 16th century in the sense ‘a stately building’; it also passed through Italian duomo and French dôme to enter English for a second time as dome ‘a rounded vault’ in the mid 17th century. Domus is also found in domestic (Late Middle English) ‘relating to the house’ and in domicile (Late Middle English) ‘home’.
