It's the name of a note in the musical scale!
The fifth syllable (or note) on a music scale is called the dominant. For example: for the scale of C major, the fifth note (or dominant) would be G.
The first note of a scale can go by many names. In solfeggio, it is "do;" in music theory it is usually the tonic or the root, but sometimes just "first." And of course every particular scale has its own particular note name for the first note.
What ever note that is a major second interval below the starting note of the scale.
The dominant note is the 5th note in the scale. ie: in a C Major scale, G is the dominant note. The dominant is represented by the Roman Numeral "V" in music.
The first note of any musical scale is called the 'tonic.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonic_(music) If that's not the answer you are looking for, then it's probably because you did not say WHAT musical scale you are asking about.
