短释义
Realm comes from the French for kingdom, but since there aren’t so many kings or queens left in the world, you’ll more often find it referring to non-royal spheres. That could be the sphere of a special kind of knowledge, like the realm of biology, or the political realm. Or it could be an area dominated by some group. Little Italy was famously the realm of the mafia; Hollywood is the realm of film stars.
领域是由某物统治的区域。如果你是一个控制欲强的厨师,不喜欢任何人在厨房里做任何其他事情,那么厨房就是你的领域。

词源
realm (n.)c. 1300, reaume, “kingdom, domain under a sovereign, royal jurisdiction,” from Old French reaume, later realme, variants (in part by influence of Old French reial “regal,” from Latin  regalis) of roiaume “kingdom.”
This is possibly from a Gallo-Romance *regiminem, “formed as an accusative on Latin regimen government, rule” [Barnhart; see regimen], or from or as if from Vulgar Latin *regalimen “a kingdom,” from Latin regalis [Century Dictionary, OED; see regal], or some combination of the two [Klein]. Realty and royalty tended to come out of Old French in similar forms, and roylty in Middle English also could be spelled realty. (14c., from Old French reaute, realte).
The modern spelling predominates from c. 1600. Transferred or figurative sense of “sphere of activity; area of power, influence, or operation” is from late 14c.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
领域(n.)c。 1300, reaume,“王国,主权、皇家管辖下的领域”,源自古法语 reaume,后来的 realme,roiaume“王国”的变体(部分受到古法语 reial“regal”的影响,源自拉丁语 regalis)。这可能来自高卢罗曼语*regiminem,“形成为拉丁政权政府、规则的宾格”[Barnhart;参见“recession”],或源自或仿佛源自通俗拉丁语 *regalimen“一个王国”,源自拉丁语 regalis [世纪词典,牛津英语词典;参见富豪],或两者的某种组合[克莱因]。 Realty 和Royalty 往往以类似的形式源自古法语,而中古英语中的roylty 也可以拼写为realty。 (14c.,源自古法语 reute,realte)。现代拼写以 c 为主。 1600.“活动领域;权力、影响力或运作领域”的转移或比喻意义来自 14c 晚期。相关条目及更多
