Typically, it refers to a note shared between two chords in a chord progression. According to H.E. Woodruff: Any tone contained in two successive chords is a common tone.

These chords stand in the same relationship to one another (in the relative minor key) as do the three major chords, so that they may be viewed as the first (i), fourth (iv) and fifth (v) degrees of the relative minor key. For example, the relative minor of C major is A minor, and in the key of A minor, the i, iv and v chords are A minor, D ...
