[edit]Noun
[edit]villadom (countable and uncountable, plural villadoms)
- The world of suburban villas.
- 1902, Herbert George Wells, Anticipations:
- At present that convenience is still needlessly expensive in Great Britain, and a scandalously stupid business conflict between telephone company and post-office delays, complicates, and makes costly and exasperating all trunk communications; but even under these disadvantages the thing is becoming a factor in the life of ordinary villadom.
- 1919, Hope, Anthony, The Secret of the Tower:
- […] turning to the right again, but more sharply, the wayfarer found himself once more in villadom, but a villadom more ornate, more costly, with gardens to be measured in acres—or nearly.
