Etymology
'condominium' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'condominium,' where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'dominium' meant 'ownership.'
'condominium' changed from the Latin word 'condominium' and eventually became the modern English word 'condominium'.
Initially, it meant 'joint ownership,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'individually owned apartments within a building.'
