#D236 (domino to Donatism)
from The Dictionary
I read from domino to Donatism. The domino mask is a simple eye mask and the name may come from the latin word "dominus" which means "lord" or "master". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_mask Everyone loves toppling over dominoes, but not many people actually PLAY dominoes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominoes The etymology of "domino" also seems to come from the Latin word "dominus" but the connection isn't totally clear. https://www.etymonline.com/word/domino#etymonline_v_13928 "Domino theory" has to do with geopolitics and the idea that if one country turned to Communism (or probably something else), then neighboring or similar countries would do the same. It's similar to The Butterfly Effect or just the idea that when one domino falls, the next ones will too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domino_theory The word of the episode is "donate".
