3. In architecture, a spherical roof, raised over the middle of a building; a cupola.

Dome (dome)
n.
Dome
  1. A building; a house; an edifice; -- used chiefly in poetry.

    Approach the dome, the social banquet share. Pope.

  2. A cupola formed on a large scale.

    * "The Italians apply the term il duomo to the principal church of a city, and the Germans call every cathedral church Dom; and it is supposed that the word in its present English sense has crept into use from the circumstance of such buildings being frequently surmounted by a cupola." Am. Cyc.

  3. Any erection resembling the dome or cupola of a building; as the upper part of a furnace, the vertical steam chamber on the top of a boiler, etc.
  4. A prism formed by planes parallel to a lateral axis which meet above in a horizontal edge, like the roof of a house; also, one of the planes of such a form.

    * If the plane is parallel to the longer diagonal (macrodiagonal) of the prism, it is called a macrodome; if parallel to the shorter (brachydiagonal), it is a brachydome; if parallel to the inclined diagonal in a monoclinic crystal, it is called a clinodome; if parallel to the orthodiagonal axis, an orthodome. Dana.

  5. Decision; judgment; opinion; a court decision.
    [Obs.] Chaucer.
