'anti-community' originates from the prefix 'anti-' meaning 'against' and the word 'community,' which refers to a group of people living together or having a particular characteristic in common.
'anti-community' combines the prefix 'anti-' with 'community' to form a modern English term used to describe actions or policies that are against community interests.
Initially, it meant 'against community interests,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
