Why "commonality" of course! It's the longest COMMON English word as you requested- longer than commonness, commoner, etc. Common sense is two words, so that doesn't count.

What is the longest common word in the english language?
It really depends on what exactly common means. In the right circles, you might find that antidisestablishmentarianism.....

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, its the fear of long words, but I am not sure as to how commonly used it is.
A long word that I use daily is "correspondence".

Defencelessness.
Not commonly used but people would know what it means.
