Morphology
domiciliation = domiciliate (semi-transparent) = domicil + iate + ion
The noun is a regular learned formation from the verb 'domiciliate', but the legal-administrative meaning is specialized and only partly predictable from the base.
Etymology
The word domiciliation comes from the old root dom- meaning 'house', the same root you see in domestic and domicile. So, domiciliation is the act of giving or choosing an official 'home' or address for legal or administrative reasons.
