From what i can see, the words 'dom' and 'don' are from the same origins, and that is the Hebrew word for 'Lord' which is 'Adoney' or 'adonai'. Adonai is the plural of Adon. The word has survived down through the centuries and is still in our current English dictionary in the forms of domicile, domestic, Mafia Dons or Lords, Kings dom or Kingdom, dominate, etc. It has become related to the word 'house' through Latin history and hence, domestic, dominate
To this theory of yours, elites invent words and then spreads to ordinary folks.. I say this cause Lord is a kind of elite word.. If don/dom has this background which goes to elite, has single uses, to me, it doesn't make sense that dom originates from Hebrew.. Latin has dom a broader use, a broader sense as it means house in Latin language. But, Latin is relatively new language.. In Turkic, the word "dam" has very broad sense as it means "any kind of house, even tent - with a ceiling" and it has a very wide use among ordinary folks from turkey to other turkic countries. So, I claim word dom/dam originated from Turkic due its very widely use by ordinary people.. There are even verb root related to dam.. Dam word in Turkic is something like a root of tree.. many words are related to dam.. For ex, adam = man, dam+la= drop, etc etc.. Anyway, if Turks imported dam word from this region/middle east/europe, then, Turks once were in this region some tousands of years ago too, during neolitic age too. Anyway, during this age, all folks of the world were kind of nomads. Dam/dom word must be so old that it is used very widely from west to east..
