OpenStudy (baconbits):

Let me start with the original question: domus: domicile An analogy isn't always comparing two opposites. An analogy is a comparison between two things. Sometimes those two things are opposites, sometimes they're similar. In this case, "domus" is the Latin root of "domicile." To find the answer, it helps to make the analogy into a sentence. "Domus is the root of domicile just like...." "...pater is the root of pacific"? No. "...familia is the root of feminism"? No. "..vestes is the root of virile"? No "genus is the root of genocide"? Yes! "Genus" meaning "people" or "race" is a root word in "genocide.
