Depending on the context it can refer to the fifth note of the scale, or to the chord that is formed on said note or to the corresponding tonal function and sonority (the latter being more frequent). The concept of dominant is understood within functional harmony, and in most cases, it refers to the dominant function itself (tension or instability) that, in opposition to the tonic function (rest), is generated by the existence of the sensitive in said chord, and by its descending fifth leap that occurs when progressing to the I degree.
