Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Modern Latin, combining the prefix con- (meaning together or jointly) with dominium (meaning dominion or ownership, from dominus, lord or master). First appearing in international law contexts in the 17th century to denote joint sovereignty over territory, it later evolved in North American real estate during the 20th century to describe individually owned housing units within shared residential buildings.
