Question 2

What is the etymology of thr French word "domino"?

Accepted Answer

appears with the meaning of 'black hooded cape worn by priests'; from this sense comes that of 'flowing hooded garment worn at balls' attested in 1665. Probably from the Latin dominus (lord), extracted from a prayer formula (perhaps pronounced when wearing this cape) such as benedicamus domino 'let us bless the lord'. Regressive derivative of dominicale 'headdress worn to receive communion [i.e. receive the lord (god), dominus]'.
