domina (plural dominas)

  1. The head of a nunnery.
    • 1796, Matthew Lewis, The Monk, Folio Society 1985, page 29:
      Each of the nuns was heard in her turn, while the others waited with the domina in the adjoining vestry.
  2. A dominatrix.
    • 1997, Rosemary Hennessy, Chrys Ingraham, Materialist feminism: a reader in class, difference, and women's lives, page 294:
      Instead, Social Text "tarts up" the issue of sex work with sexy photos of dominas and cross-dressers, replicating, in a slightly more self-conscious and progressive way, the nineteenth-century exoticization […]
    • 2004, Pamela Church Gibson, More dirty looks: gender, pornography and power:
      Dominas therefore stress the emotional and physical skill, as well as the dangers, involved in commercial S/M […]
  3. An ancient Roman lady.
    • 1863 November 21, “Literary Extracts, &c.”, in The Hull News, number 621, Kingston upon Hull, E.R.Y., page 3, column 4:
      A precious article is the paint with which the Roman domina was beautified; it was well worthy of the case of ivory and rock-crystal in which it was preserved.
    • 1956 May 23, Jean Yothers, “On the Town”, in Orlando Sentinel, volume 66, number 272, Orlando, Fla., page 20, column 1:
      “Can you translate this invitation? I hate to display my ignorance around your Latin students,” Mrs. Dooley, who was attired in a royal purple gown as a Roman domina, graciously complied, so if you’ve been worrying over the translation to the first paragraph, here ’tis.
    • 2012, Armando Roggero, The Revenge of the Ninth: Heading to Honor and Glory through Effort and Trial, Lulu, →ISBN, pages 71 and 152:
      Flavius on the other hand holds the career of the gladiator in high esteem, as despite running the unavoidable risk of death at every turn, gladiators are the most renowned and admired of all men and are sought after by the most beautiful and wealthy Roman dominae. […] Though dressed like Roman patrician dominae, their height, features and hair colour show that they are young Briton girls.
    • 2012, J. F. Ridgley, Vows of Revenge, →ISBN, page 498:
      The ancient historian Horace remarked once that respectable women should not draw attention to themselves by using cosmetics, perfume, or hairpieces. However, that didn’t last long with the Roman dominas.
    • 2017, Mary Dove, “Quintus”, in The End of Seven, Dog Ear Publishing, →ISBN, page 346:
      The exotic mistress fulfilled the lust of his body, but her status came far short of entertaining him as he’d grown accustomed with fair Roman dominas, engaging their obscene wittiness and patrician prattle.
