Thank you Adam.
Can you clarify -- what exactly does "tenant" mean in the context of administering a 365 account?

It's an entity separating you from other organizations/businesses/individuals using Office 365 worldwide. It can be perceived as a main account. Not one that you can assign a license or a mailbox, not a user account, but org account. As others say, one tenant can have multiple domains which are interoperable (i haven't tried this myself, so i trust the other commenter). But two separate tenants can't share resources like that.
Also, tenant has a unique address like company.onmicrosoft.com (where you can add your own existing domains). Other tenant will have company2.onmicrosoft.com.
