词源
Old English -dōm, originally meaning 'decree, judgement'.
-dom, suffix[OE. -dóm = OS. -dóm, MDu. -doem, Du. -dom, OHG., MHG. -tuom, G. -tum.]Abstract suffix of state, which has grown out of an independent n., orig. putting, setting, position, statute, OHG. tuom, position, condition, dignity, in OE. dóm, statute, judgement, jurisdiction, f. stem dô- of do v. + abstract suffix -moz, OE. -m, as in hel-m, sea-m, strea-m, etc. Frequent already in OE. as a suffix to ns. and adjs., as biscopdóm the dignity of a bishop, cyningdóm, cynedóm, royal or kingly dominion, kingdom, ealdordóm the position or jurisdiction of an elder or lord; þeowdóm, the condition of a þeow or slave; fréodóm, háliᵹdóm, wisdóm the condition or fact of being free, holy, or wise. The number of these derivatives has increased in later times, and -dom is now a living suffix, freely employed to form nonce-derivatives, not only with the sense of ‘condition, state, dignity’, but also with that of ‘domain, realm’ (fig.). See in their alphabetical places alderdom, Anglo-Saxondom, boredom, Christendom, cuckoldom, dukedom, earldom, freedom, kingdom, martyrdom, popedom, sheriffdom, thraldom, wisdom, etc. Examples of nonce-words appear in the quotations.1885H.
