Etymology
Κομμουνίστρια is the feminine form of κομμουνιστής, which Greek borrowed from French communiste in the nineteenth century. That French word traces back to Latin communis, meaning common or shared. The ending -ίστρια marks a female agent or adherent, the same pattern seen in αθλητής/αθλήτρια (athlete).
