Morphology

The meaning 'to transmit (a disease or feeling)' is a direct extension of 'make common/share' and is likely inferable from the components by learners familiar with related words (e.g., communicable, communicate).
Etymology
Communicate when talking about disease comes from the same Latin communicare 'to share', because an illness can be 'shared' or passed from one person to another. So, to communicate an infection is to pass it on.
