Relating to a community or communities; emphasizing the communal or shared aspects of society.
From Latin communitas (community) + -al suffix. Formed as a parallel adjective to 'community,' though less common than 'communal.'
While 'communal' is common, 'communital' appears more in academic sociology, where scholars use it to emphasize structural aspects of community rather than just shared feeling—a subtle distinction that reveals disciplinary jargon.
