Morphology
community = commun + ity
Ecological 'community' (organisms living together) reflects the core idea of 'together/shared', but the morpheme 'commun-' is not a transparent, productive English base 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 in ecology a community is the plants and animals in one place that live together and depend on each other.
