Morphology
community = commun + ity
The abstract sense of 'sharedness' echoes the underlying idea of 'common/commune', but the modern morphological pieces are not clear-cut productive morphemes for learners.
Etymology
Community comes from the old Latin word communis, which means 'shared' and is the same root as the English word common. So community can mean the state of having things in 'common', like shared interests, values, or goals.
