Someone who knows everyone's business and calls it community.

means A person who lives in a small, close-knit settlement, usually one where everyone knows everyone else's comings and goings.

from From village, borrowed from Old French 'vilage,' built on Latin 'villa' meaning country house or farmstead — the same root that gives us 'villa' and 'villain.' That last connection is real, not folklore: 'villain' comes from 'villanus,' a peasant tied to the villa, and only later curdled into meaning a scoundrel, back when the countryfolk were viewed with city suspicion. 'Villager' itself is simply 'village' plus the agent suffix '-er,' meaning one who belongs to it.
