MormonTimes.com: The gospel in words - 'communion'
It turns out that communion, though rarely used in scripture, is a wonderfully expressive word. Communion comes from the root word meaning to mix dough, shape clay, put together, touch, knead, fasten, form or build. The original word meant "forming loaves of bread from dough." The word "paradise" also comes from this root and meant an "enclosed garden with a clay wall."
