community-conscious
|com-mu-ni-ty-con-scious|
/kəˈmjuːnɪti ˈkɒnʃəs/
awareness of community needs
Etymology
'community-conscious' originates from the combination of 'community' and 'conscious,' where 'community' refers to a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common, and 'conscious' means being aware of and responding to one's surroundings.
'community-conscious' evolved from the need to describe individuals who are particularly aware of and responsive to the needs of their community.
Initially, it meant 'aware of one's surroundings,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'being aware of and concerned about the needs and well-being of one's community.'
