Morphology

predomination = predominate (semi-transparent) = pre + dominate + ion

A straightforward nominalization formed by adding '-ion' to the verb 'predominate', keeping the expected meaning of the state or quality of predominating.

Etymology

The word predomination comes from pre- meaning 'before' and dominus meaning 'lord' or 'master', the same root as dominate and dominion. So, predomination means being 'before' others in power or influence, the most important or strongest thing in a group.
