different between community vs chronoclasm
community
English
Etymology
From Late Middle English communite, borrowed from Old French communité, comunité, comunete (modern French communauté), from Classical Latin comm?nit?s (“community; public spirit”), from comm?nis (“common, ordinary; of or for the community, public”) + -it?s (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *-teh?ts (“suffix forming nouns indicating a state of being”)). Comm?nis is derived from con- (“prefix indicating a being or bringing together of several objects”) (from cum (“with”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *?óm (“along, at, next to, with”)) + m?nus (“employment, office, service; burden, duty, obligation”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *mey- (“to change, exchange”)). Doublet of communitas.
