The quality or state of being domestic; attachment to home and family life, or the characteristic conditions and practices of home life.
From 'domestic' (relating to the home) + '-ality' (quality or state). Built on Latin 'domesticus' through French 'domestique.'
Victorian literature obsessed over 'domesticity' and 'domesticality'—the ideal of women devoted to home—but the word originally just meant 'home-ness,' showing how gendered meanings get layered onto neutral words over time.
