communaladj.

Brit. /ˈkɒmjᵿnl/, /kəˈmjuːnl/, U.S. /kəˈmjun(ə)l/, /ˈkɑmjən(ə)l/
Forms: late Middle English comunal, 1700s– communal.
Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Probably also partly formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: French comunal ; Latin commūnālis ; commune n.1, -al suffix1.
Etymology: Originally < Anglo-Norman and Middle French comunal, communal, etc. (French communal ) common, unanimous (c1100 in Old French), general (c1170), belonging to the community or body of citizens (1208) and its etymon classical Latin commūnālis (of property) common, in post-classical Latin also belonging to the community or body of citizens (from 12th cent. in British and continental sources) < commūne (see commune n.1) + -ālis -al suffix1. In later use probably partly also < commune n.1 + -al suffix1. Compare Old Occitan comunal (14th cent.; c1300 as cumenal), Catalan comunal (1272), Spanish comunal (a1250), Portuguese comunal (13th cent.), Italian comunale (a1243).The stress appears to have been variable at least since the mid 19th century, but 19th- and 20th-century British and U.S. dictionaries vary as to which they give as the main or sole pronunciation.
