Monks’ honorifics

DOMS

Think of the short title for Benedictine or Dominican monks, often seen before their names in religious orders. It’s also a suffix in some academic degrees.

Monks’ honorifics" points to "DOMS" because it’s short for dominus, a Latin title historically used for monks or clergy, similar to "father" or "brother." The clue plays on the idea of formal respect ("honorifics") while keeping it concise—"doms" is a casual truncation you might see in crosswords. Think of it like "rev." for reverend but for monastic settings.
