The word "communication" comes from the Latin noun communicatio, which means to share or impart. From the root communis has no relation to terms such as union or unity, but is linked to the Latin munus (duty, gift), and therefore has relatives in terms such as common, immune, crazy, means, meaning, municipal, mutual, and German terms such as Gemeinschaft (community) and Meinung (opinion). His radical senses have to do with change, exchange and possessions possessed by more than one person; the Latin verb communicate means to do common.
