/doˈmestiko/ · B2 · adj

domestic, household, home

🏠 doméstico = from Latin domus (house): domestic = of the house

Doméstico comes from Latin domus, meaning house. Same root as English domestic and domicile. A household worker is a doméstico, and the rarer sense of a thief from within the home fits: someone in the house who steals from those living there.
