comunidad

/komuniˈdad/ · B1 · noun · f

community

🏘️ común + -idad = common + -ity: what people hold in common

From Latin communitas, the same root as English community. Spanish -idad regularly matches English -ity (universidad, ciudad, realidad), so swap the ending and you have the word. Feminine, like all -dad nouns: la comunidad.
