How Domestic
Surface Forms
Morphology
domestic = domest + ic
The adjective is formed from the combining form 'domest-' + '-ic'; learners can relate it to 'home' but extending that to 'national' (e.g., 'domestic market') is a broader, not strictly literal inference.
Etymology
Domestic comes from the Latin word domus, which means 'house' or 'home'. So when we talk about domestic goods or business, we mean things made or done 'at home' in your own country rather than abroad.
