Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term 'community' derives from the Latin 'communitas', meaning fellowship or public spirit, from 'communis' (common). 'Center' comes via Old French from the Latin 'centrum', tracing back to the Greek 'kentron' (sharp point, pivot). Combined in modern English, it denotes a central public facility serving a local populace.
