Picture something that has been brought inside and has settled there. A wolf's family line ends up asleep by the fire; a wild grass ends up growing in a field someone planted; a person who never cooked ends up with soup on the stove. In every case the word looks at the end of that road, not at the journey: this one belongs to the house now.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary gives domesticated as domesticate plus -ed, so the word names a finished result rather than an action in progress.
Wiktionary 記錄 domesticated 是 domesticate 加上 -ed。所以這個字講的是「已經完成的結果」，不是正在做的動作，這也是它一直帶著「已經安頓好了」味道的原因。
Wiktionary (kaikki extract, entries domesticated/verb and domesticated/adj): "From domesticate + -ed."
