β. 1600s municipial, 1600s municipiall.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mūnicipālis.

Etymology: < classical Latin mūnicipālis of or relating to a municipium < mūnicip- , mūniceps member of a municipium ( < mūnia (plural) civic offices (cognate with mūner- , mūnus : see muneral adj.) + -ceps < the base of capere to take: see capture n.) + -ālis -al suffix¹. Compare Old Occitan municipal (1389), Middle French, French municipal (1474 in sense A. 3, 1527 in sense A. 2), Italian municipale (1310–12), Spanish municipal (1439 in sense A. 2, 1490 in sense A. 3, 1505 in sense A. 1), Catalan municipal (c1400), Portuguese municipal (1422 in form monjçipal ). With use as noun compare classical Latin mūnicipālis and mūniceps , both denoting an inhabitant of a municipium, and Old Occitan, Occitan municipal (1307 as municipals (plural) inhabitants of a municipal town). Compare municipium n.With sense A. 4 compare post-classical Latin di municipes gods whose worship is confined to particular localities (early 3rd cent.). With sense B. 3 compare French municipal (1845; shortened < garde municipale (1834)). The form municipial , common in the 17th cent., is due either to the word being regarded as a derivative of classical Latin mūnicipium municipium n., or to uncertainty as to the proper form of a derivative < classical Latin mūniceps. Compare also the rare Italian form municipiale (1363 or earlier).

A. adj.

1. Of or relating to the internal affairs of a state as distinguished from its international relations. Originally and chiefly in municipal law n. the law of a particular state, as distinguished from international law (see also quot. 1959).
