'community-resistant' is a compound word formed from 'community' and 'resistant'. 'Community' originates from Latin 'communitas', meaning 'common, public, shared by all or many'. 'Resistant' comes from Latin 'resistere', meaning 'to withstand'.

'Community' evolved from Old French 'comunité', and 'resistant' from Old French 'resistant', both eventually forming the modern English compound 'community-resistant'.

Initially, 'community' meant 'a group of people living together', and 'resistant' meant 'able to withstand'. Together, they now describe something impervious to community influence.
