Explanation

Domicile can refer to a permanent home or residence, but it also specifically means a person's permanent legal residence or the place where they live permanently. A native is someone born in a place, a resident is someone living in a place (could be temporary), and a sojourner is a temporary resident - only domicile captures the permanent aspect.
