domestic = domest + ic
The meaning 'relating to the home/household' is a direct derivation from the root notion of 'house' expressed by 'domest-' plus the adjectival suffix '-ic'.
Etymology
Domestic comes from the Latin domus, 'house' or 'home'. That is why domestic describes life, tasks, or things that belong to the home and family.
