/ˈdɒmɪnəʊ/
Meanings (ES + gloss)
dominó
A tile divided into two squares, each having 0 to 6 (or sometimes more) dots or pips (as in dice), used in the game of dominoes.
Dominoes of indiscretions down Falling all around, in cycles, in circles Constantly consuming Conquer and devour
If a domino had four squares on its surface, it would be a tetromino. With five squares, it would be a pentomino—nine, a nonomino, eleven, an unwieldy undecomino!
