demesne \dih-MEYN, -MEEN\ noun 1. possession of land as one's own: land held in demesne. 2. an estate or part of an estate occupied and controlled by, and worked for the exclusive use of, the owner. Quotes As the foregoing analysis has demonstrated, the proportion between land held in demesne and land held by subtenants seems to have been relatively stable throughout the later Anglo-Saxon period and even beyond the Conquest. -- Francesca Tinti, Sustaining Belief, 2010 Origin Demesne is derived from the Middle English word demeine. It is related to the more common word domain, which also comes from the Latin word dominicus meaning "of a master."
