Dominant and other words that start with Dominan usually means having claimed something, or having control over it. If your intelligent, you would probably know that words starting with in (inhumane, incorrect) usually mean the opposite of what the suffix meant. So, take correct, which means you did, guessed, etc. something right. Put an in at the end of it, you get incorrect. Incorrect is the antonym of correct, meaning you did, guessed, etc. something wrong. Now, as I said, words that start with Dominan usually mean control over an object. Now, paste the prefix that I mentioned earlier and automatically makes the word an antonym of itself, and you get Indominance/Indominant. If you remembered everything I said, in____ makes an antonym of the word you place in the blank. So Indominant/Indominance means you don't have control over something. And the Indominus is a fierce dinosaur that is extremely aggressive, and one animal you probably won't gain dominance over anytime soon. So, yeah.

You kind of said this all in the article, but very briefly. However, the more I think about it, Indominus Rex does sound pretty gentle, despite Indominus meaning Uncontrollable, untamable, etc. I don't think even Diabolus Rex would cover even a tenth of the sheer awesomeness of this Albino-arms-on-steroids-a-saurus rex.
