Descrizione:

Of or belonging to the community, an adjective in frequent use in earlier centuries when ordinary people’s lives were controlled by the parish, township and manor. We are accustomed to think of ‘common’ being applied to arable land, to the waste, and to lanes and highways but the following examples are an indication of its much wider use: 1505 <i>one Th.
