Origin

Mid 16th century: from Old French, from medieval Latin predominant- 'predominating', from the verb predominari (see predominate).

danger from Middle English:
From the early Middle Ages into the 19th century danger meant ‘jurisdiction, power’, originally ‘the power of a lord and master, power to harm’. This reflects its origin in Latin dominus ‘lord’, the root of which also gave us dame, predominant (mid 16th century), and dungeon. In the later Middle Ages danger developed its main modern sense.
