commonalities
What things share
Commonalities are features or characteristics shared by two or more things.
The word emphasizes what unites rather than divides: Despite their differences, the two proposals have significant commonalities.
Often used in contexts exploring relationships between groups, ideas, or phenomena: researchers looking for commonalities across cultures.
