Middle English, shortening of Old English gemǣne, of Germanic origin, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin communis ‘common’. The original sense was ‘common to two or more people’, later ‘inferior in rank’, leading to mean2 (sense 3) and a sense ‘ignoble, small-minded’, from which mean2 (sense 1 and sense 2) (which became common in the 19th century) arose.
