The realm, territory, or state of being ruled by a bashaw; a domain under the control of a bashaw or Ottoman official.
From 'bashaw' + Old English suffix '-dom' (kingdom, realm). Created in English in the 1600s-1700s to describe Ottoman territories.
'-dom' is one of English's most productive suffixes—Christendom, kingdom, serfdom—but 'bashawdom' shows how the suffix could be applied to any foreign power that seemed exotic or dangerous to English speakers.
