'community-minded' originates from the English word 'community' combined with 'minded,' where 'community' refers to a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common, and 'minded' means having a particular attitude or inclination.

'Community-minded' evolved from the combination of 'community' and 'minded' in modern English to describe individuals with a focus on communal well-being.

Initially, it meant 'having a focus on community,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
