Etymology
The word comes from the Arabic root ش ي ع (sh-y-ʕ), whose verb شاع (shā'a) means to spread or become widely known. From this root comes شُيُوع (shuyū'), a noun meaning prevalence or commonality, and the nisba suffix ـيّ turns it into an adjective. Nineteenth and twentieth century Arabic writers chose this root to translate communism, since the ideology centers on common or shared ownership. The choice mirrors the European word itself, which derives from Latin communis, meaning common.
