Comunidad

/kɔmuniˈðɑð/ noun

Definition

The Spanish word for community, referring to a group of people living together or united by common interests, religion, or nationality.

Etymology

From Latin communitas, derived from communis meaning 'common.' The word traveled through Spanish with minimal phonetic change, maintaining its sense of shared or common connection.

Kelly Says

Spanish kept the Latin root almost perfectly intact—'comunidad' sounds almost identical to the Latin original, showing how Spanish evolved very conservatively from Latin compared to other Romance languages.
