Usage notes
In the mathematical sense, some languages, such as French, use a term that literally means "body". This denotes a division ring or skew field, not necessarily commutative. If it is clear from context that the quaternions and similar division rings are irrelevant, or that all division rings being considered are finite and therefore fields, this difference is ignored.

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.
