Etymology
'community-unfriendly' originates from the combination of 'community' and 'unfriendly', where 'community' refers to a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common, and 'unfriendly' means not friendly or hostile.
The term 'community-unfriendly' evolved from the need to describe policies or actions that are not supportive of community interests.
Initially, it meant 'not friendly to a community', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
