How can you use “dueño” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Etymologists say it originally meant dueño de una casa `lord, or master, of a house' and is a contraction of duen de casa . Duen is the apocopated (cut-off) form of dueño , which stems from the Latin dominus . As the Spanish word evolved, the de was suffixed to the duen , the casa was omitted altogether, and el duende thus became “the lord of the house.”
