Morphology
community = commun + ity
The notion of a group sharing interests (e.g., a political or international 'community') aligns with the idea of 'commonness', but the internal morpheme 'commun-' is not a standalone modern English base, so learners may not infer formation directly.
Etymology
Community comes from the old Latin word communis, which means 'shared' and is the same root as the English word common. So a community of nations is a group of countries that share goals, values, or rules and work together.
