Etymology
'community-proof' is a compound word formed from 'community' and 'proof', where 'community' refers to a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common, and 'proof' means resistant or impervious to something.
The term 'proof' in this context evolved from the Old French 'prova', meaning 'test' or 'trial', and eventually came to mean 'resistant' in modern English.
Initially, 'proof' meant 'test' or 'trial', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'resistant' or 'impervious'.
