Commonwealth
The
English noun commonwealth dates originally from the
fifteenth century. The original phrase "common wealth" or "the common weal" comes from the old meaning of "wealth" which is "well-being". The term literally meant "common well-being". Thus commonwealth originally meant a state or nation-state governed for the common good as opposed to an authoritarian state governed for the benefit of a given class of owners. The word was a
calque on the
Latin word
res publica meaning "public affairs" or "the state", from which the English word
republic arises.
