"dominus" meaning in Latin

See dominus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈdo.mi.nus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈd̪ɔmɪnʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈdo.mi.nus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈd̪ɔːminus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: The original identity of the second vowel of this word is unclear: * from Proto-Italic *dom-o/u-nos (“of the house”); both u- and o-stems are found in other branches; * from Proto-Italic *domanos, from Proto-Indo-European *domHnos (“homeowner”), from *dṓm (“house”) + *-Hō (Hoffmann's suffix) via the oblique stem *-Hn-. In either case, likely further related to domus, from Proto-Italic *domos, from Proto-Indo-European *dem- (“to build”).
