Etymology
15th-century alteration (see below) of older de Thum, from de gmh - and de goh tuom, from de gmw-pro *dōm (whence odt duom, gml dôm), from de la-med domus house. The use probably goes back to la domus episcopatus/episcopalis house of the bishopric.„Dom“, in Pfeifer, Wolfgang et al.: Etymologisches Wörterbuch des Deutschen (1993), digitalisierte Version im Digitalen Wörterbuch der Deutschen Sprache.dom1 An alternative theory derives it from la domus ecclesiae church house, after de grc οἶκος τῆς ἐκκλησίας.Dom, Duden.
The modern alteration de Dom follows de frm dome, from de it duomo, from the Latin. It was probably reinforced by the inherited de gml - form (see above).Paul, Hermann: Deutsche Grammatik, vol. I, Halle a.S., 1916, p. 333, 335. de Thum survived longest in the south.Adelung, Johann Christoph: Grammatisch-Kritisches Wörterbuch der Hochdeutschen Mundart, vol. I, Leipzig, 1793, col. 1513. The Dutch cognate nl dom was similarly influenced by French.
