What civil means
Relating to ordinary citizens and their affairs rather than military or religious matters, or characterized by polite and respectful behavior toward others.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English and Old French *civil*, borrowed from Latin *civilis*, meaning "of or relating to citizens." Latin *civilis* derives from *civis*, meaning "citizen," which is of uncertain origin but possibly connected to the root of Latin *civitas* (city, state). The word entered English in the 13th century and expanded from its original sense of "relating to citizens" to include "polite" and "orderly."
