Etymology

The word 'domino' originated from the Latin word 'dominus', meaning 'master' or 'lord'. It was first used in the 18th century to refer to a hood worn by priests during winter. The connection to the game of dominoes came later, as the game pieces were often black and white, resembling the priest's hood. Over time, the term expanded to include the game itself and other uses.
