The state, condition, or collective experience of being a boy; boyhood or the realm and characteristics associated with boys.
From 'boy' combined with the suffix -dom meaning domain, realm, or state. Similar to 'kingdom' or 'Christendom,' it creates an abstract noun describing a sphere of existence or condition.
'Boydom' captures a specific era of life that boyhood doesn't quite—it refers to boy culture, boy concerns, and the whole parallel universe kids create separate from adults.
