Dom

Monk's formal title

Dom is an honorific title used for certain Catholic clergy, particularly Benedictine and Carthusian monks: Dom Pérignon, the monk credited with advancing champagne production.

It derives from the Latin dominus, meaning lord or master.

In Portuguese and Brazilian contexts, Dom precedes names of nobility or royalty. (Lowercase dom is BDSM terminology for a dominant partner.)
