communal
Belonging to all
Communal describes what belongs to or is shared by a community or group rather than individuals.
A communal kitchen serves all residents of a building.
Communal land is owned collectively.
The word often implies cooperative living arrangements or shared resources: The farm operated on communal principles.
Communal can also relate to relations between ethnic or religious communities, especially in contexts of conflict: communal violence.
