communality
Belonging to all
Communality is the quality of being shared or held in common.
It emphasizes collective ownership, experience, or identity rather than individual possession: The communality of village life has eroded as young people move to cities.
In statistics, communality measures how much variance in a variable is explained by common factors.
The word often carries warm connotations of togetherness and mutual belonging.
