Common

/ˈkɒmən/ adjective

Common means happening often or found in many places, or shared by a group of people. It can also mean ordinary or not special.

From Old French *comun*, from Latin *communis* “shared, general, belonging to all,” from *com-* “together” + a root related to *munus* “service, duty.” The sense of “ordinary” came from things being widely shared or widespread.
