2. A building or complex containing condominium apartments or townhouses.
3. In politics, a country governed by two or more different countries with joint responsibility.
4. The system under which a country or state is ruled by two or more other nations.
5. Etymology: from Modern Latin, "joint sovereignty", apparently coined in German about 1700 from com-, "together" + dominum, "right of ownership".

The sense of "privately owned apartment" came into existence in American English, about 1962, as a special use of the legal term.

1. Exposure or vulnerability to harm, injury, or loss: "Their lives were in danger when the earth quake struck."
2. Someone or something that may cause harm, injury, or loss.
3. Etymology: "power of a lord or master, jurisdiction", from Anglo-French daunger, from Old French dangier, "power to harm, mastery"; alteration of dongier, from Vulgar Latin dominarium, "power of a lord", from Latin dominus, "lord, master"; so, danger is said to be a parallel formation of dominion.

It comes from Vulgar Latin domniarium "power or sway of a lord, dominion, jurisdiction", a derivative of Latin dominus "lord, master".

English got the word from Old French dangier and Anglo-Norman daunger, keeping the word's original sense until the 17th century.

There were notions of being in someone's danger (that is, "in his power, at his mercy") and of being in danger of something (that is, "liable to something unpleasant"; such as, loss or punishment).

2. Etymology: from Old French danter, a form of donter, from Latin domitare, domare, "to tame, to subdue, to vanquish, to conquer"; literally, "to accustom to the house", from domus, "house". Originally "to vanquish;" sense of "to intimidate" is from c.1475.
