Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Modern Latin, combining the prefix 'con-' (together) and 'dominium' (ownership, property), originating in the 17th century to describe joint sovereignty over territory. Over time, the term evolved in North American and European real estate law to designate a building or complex where individual units are separately owned while common facilities are shared collectively.
