Domicilement

/ˌdɑməsɪlˈmɛnt/ noun

Definition

The act of establishing or taking up residence in a domicile; the process of settling or being settled in a place of residence.

Etymology

From domicile + -ment (suffix creating nouns of action or result). The -ment form emphasizes the process rather than the state of domiciliation.

Kelly Says

Domicilement is the verb-noun form—while domiciliation is more common today, domicilement appears in older legal documents as the term for the actual process of establishing legal residence.
