Celtdom

/ˈsɛltdəm/ noun

Definition

The world, realm, or collective territories historically inhabited by Celtic peoples; the domain of Celtic culture and civilization.

Etymology

From Celt combined with the suffix -dom (meaning kingdom or domain), similar to Christendom or Heathendom. This formation emerged in the 19th century as scholars created umbrella terms for cultural regions.

Kelly Says

Using -dom to mean 'the realm of something' is much older than you'd think—it appears in Old English—so 'Celtdom' literally means 'the kingdom of Celts,' which would have made perfect sense to medieval people thinking about distant peoples.
