lares
  12

1º_ Plural of lar ("god of every home among the Romans") . 2º_ The place where one lives or where one is, one's own territory, the village where one lives. The meaning may come from the above definition, associating the protective divinity of the house with the physical place, although that does not explain why it is said in the plural. Another etymology supposes that it is a syncopation of 'places', which is usually used in the plural ('these places') to name local territories.
