where did the common cold get its name
Common cold The common cold is the most frequent infectious disease in humans.[16] The average adult gets two to three colds a year, while the average child may get six to eight.[10][7] Infections occur more commonly during the winter.[2] These infections have existed throughout human history.[17]
Common law The common law—so named because it was "common" to all the king's courts across England—originated in the practices of the courts of the English kings in the centuries following the Norman Conquest in 1066.[10] The British Empire spread its legal system to its historical colonies, many of which retain the common law system today. These "common law systems" are legal systems that give great precedential weight to common law, and to the style of reasoning inherited from the English legal system.[11][12][13][14]
