Dolldom

/ˈdɒlˌdɒm/ noun

Etymology

English compound: 'doll' + '-dom' (Old English 'dōm' meaning domain or state), parallel to 'kingdom' or 'dollardom.'

Kelly Says

The fact that collectors created a word for 'the realm of dolls' shows how humans create entire worlds around their obsessions—and then give those worlds formal names.
