Unnumbered source etymology
Original entry ↗verb
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryTo bring (something) under control; to overcome, to subdue.
Borrowed from French dompter (“to break in, tame (an animal); to subdue, suppress”), from Middle French dompter, from Old French donter, danter, from Latin domitāre, the present active infinitive of domitō (“to tame”), from domō (“to break in, tame; to conquer, subdue, vanquish”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *demh₂- (“to domesticate, tame”)) + -itō (suffix forming frequentative verbs). The English word is a doublet of daunt.
