Plural of commorancy; instances of residing or dwelling together in the same place; shared residence or habitation.
From 'commorancy' (from Latin commorari, 'to stay together'), + -cy (forming abstract nouns) + -ies (plural). The word reflects medieval legal vocabulary for shared housing and residency rights.
Medieval law carefully tracked 'commorancies' because they determined taxes, rights, and inheritance—who shared a hall mattered legally. Modern apartment buildings are full of commorancies, but we barely notice because we've atomized into isolated units.
