Morphology
community = commun + ity
The network-science sense (a subgroup sharing denser connections) fits the general idea of 'sharedness', but the formal morphemic parts are not obvious modern English morphemes, so formation is not fully transparent.
Etymology
Community comes from the old Latin word communis, which means 'shared' and is the same root as the English word common. So in network study a community is a group inside a larger network where the members have many connections with each other.
