Domic

/ˈdoʊmɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or resembling a dome; having the shape or characteristics of a dome, or relating to a building or structure with dome-shaped features.

Etymology

From dome + -ic (suffix creating adjectives meaning 'relating to'). The root dome comes from Latin domus, 'house,' though the architectural dome structure came via Romance languages.

Kelly Says

Domic architecture represents a major engineering innovation—the dome distributes weight differently than flat ceilings, which is why ancient domes like the Pantheon still stand after 2,000 years.
