dungeon. Dungeon apparently derives from the Latin dom- nio, “the lord’s tower,” and was used to mean “castle” in 14th- century England. But the word also meant “the keep of a castle” and “a prison cell under the castle” at the time. Over the course of a few more centuries, however, dungeon came to retain only this last meaning, having changed from a high tower to a room beneath the ground. |
