A Community is a place where people come together to share
common interests and resources.
The origin of community is from the Latin word
"The word "community" is derived from the Old French
communit辿 which is derived from the Latin communitas
(cum, "with/together" + munus, "gift"), a broad term for
fellowship or organized society.
"Community: The origin of the word "community" comes
from the Latin munus, which means the gift, and cum,
which means together, among each other. So community
literally means to give among each other."
